Tenochcatl

Tenochcatl refers to the ancient city that became the heart of the Aztec Empire, known today as Tenochtitlan. Founded in the early 14th century on an island in Lake Texcoco, it was a hub of culture, trade, and governance. The city's remarkable architecture included temples and canals and was a symbol of Aztec ingenuity. Tenochtitlan was home to the famous Templo Mayor and thrived until Spanish conquest in 1521. Today, its ruins lie beneath modern Mexico City, serving as a poignant reminder of the Aztec civilization's complexity and significance in history.
