Tenochtitlán: Architectural Splendor of the Aztec World

Located in the Valley of Mexico and settled on Lake Texcoco, Tenochtitlán is a living example of Aztec architectural and urban genius. From the majestic Templo Mayor to the innovative chinampas, this city offers a journey into the essence of the Aztec world.

Architectural Pillars

  • The Templo Mayor: Central to religious life, this imposing structure was the spiritual and ceremonial heart of the city.
  • Innovation in Transportation: Causeways, such as the renowned Iztapalapa Causeway, and intricate canals, were essential to connecting and mobilizing the metropolis.
  • Chinampas: This revolutionary agricultural system transformed the aquatic landscape into fertile farmland.
  • Aztec Residences: From luxurious palaces to modest adobe houses, housing reflects the Aztec social structure.
