Templo Mayor

Templo Mayor was one of the most important religious sites in the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán, now modern-day Mexico City. Dedicated to the gods Huitzilopochtli, the god of war, and Tlaloc, the rain god, the temple featured two distinct shrines stacked on top of each other. It was a focal point for ceremonies, including rituals and sacrifices, reflecting the Aztec's rich cultural and religious practices. Discovered in the 20th century, Templo Mayor provides valuable insight into Aztec civilization, architecture, and spirituality, making it a significant archaeological and historical site.
