The Templo Mayor (Spanish for "[the] Greater Temple") was the main temple of the Aztec people in their capital city of Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City. Its architectural style belongs to the late Postclassic period of Mesoamerica. The temple was called the Huēyi Teōcalli [we:ˈi teoːˈkali] in the Nahuatl language. It was dedicated simultaneously to Huitzilopochtli, god of war, and Tlaloc, god of rain and agriculture, each of which had a shrine at the top of the pyramid with separate staircases. The spire in the center of the adjacent image was devoted to Quetzalcoatl in his form as the wind god, Ehecatl. The Great Temple devoted to Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc, measuring approximately 100 by 80 m (328 by 262 ft) at its base, dominated the Sacred Precinct.Construction of the first temple began sometime after 1325, and it was rebuilt six times. The temple was destroyed by the Spanish in 1521 to make way for the new cathedral.

Huei Tzompantli under Mexico city The tower of skulls erected by the Aztecs in Tenochtitlan According to the researchers Tzompantli was to demonstrate the might of the empire to enemies. Prisoners of war were sacrificed to Aztec Gods and displayed on their towers. The Aztecs practiced these ritual killings because they believed the sacrifices kept their the gods alive and ensured the world would keep turning to it's best. Such sacrifices, called nextlahualtin (which translates to "payment of debts"), were seen as a way to curry favor with the divine. Spanish conquistadors destroyed the Huei Tzompantli tower, but archaeologist are unearthing its ruins.

Incredible museum in the heart of the city, absolutely worth the visit if you’re in area. It doesn’t take too long to go through and have some amazing artifacts. Parts are still being uncovered by anthropologists, so you’ll likely see something new each time!

This is must when visiting Mexico. A great place to start your México City experience. The experience will take you on a historical ride of a life time. A place where ancient structures and modern ones share time and space. The tickets are cheap and the experience is priceless. I recommend taking the metro here or an Uber. Because of its historical value this place gets 5 stars!
