Built-in the 1300s, this historic site is also an active archeological site. Housing the remains of one of the main temples of Tenochtitlán, it is an important site steeped in the ancient Aztec culture. If History fascinates you this is the place you do not want to miss. We would recommend visiting during the early morning hours to make the most of your visit. You can avoid the midday heat and the crowds too! Besides the site looks magnificent in the morning. Taking a tour is also recommended if you are curious about the history of the place. A solo trip is good if you are already familiar with the place! A number of ancient objects have been discovered on the site and can be viewed in the onsite museum. The cultural and historic importance of the site has led it to become the UNESCO World Heritage site as well. If you are in Mexico City this is a must-visit spot. The Templo Mayor Museum is also architecturally relevant. Belonging to the post-classical period of Mesoamerica, the Temple provides the perfect opportunity for architecture students and enthusiasts alike to appreciate and study this amazing site.
Considered sacred by the ancient Aztecs, this site was considered the center of power for the Aztec rulers. The main attraction of the site is the Temple and the Museum. The Museum houses some of the great artifacts uncovered over the years. Rich in symbolism and art, the Temple easily spellbinds the visitors, allowing them glimpses into the history of the place. Whether you are an explorer or a lover of history or are fascinated by cultures, this is the perfect place for you. Highly recommended.
