In the museum visitors take a series of ramps and walkways through the remains of the main ceremonial pyramid of the ancient Tenochtitlan.

 Templo Mayor Ruins by AprilTLeave a Comment

Templo Mayor or The great Pyramid was the center of life and worship in the Aztec Capital of Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City). It was a place to worship Huitzilopochtli (Good of War and sun) and Tlaloc (God of rain and fertility). This as many other Aztec buildings was destroyed after the spanish conquest under the leadership of Hernán cortéz in 1521.
Open Tuesday to Sunday 9-5.
Entrance is $45 pesos, free on Sundays. Leave a Comment Address: 8 Seminario streetDirections: Steeps away of Zocalo

We came here at night and this place was already closed and there isnt too much light out here at night. Regardless we could see parts of the ruins. I later saw pictures of what I missed and I totally regretted not making enough time to come here during the day.
All this area was covered up and built upon. Then in 1978 as some construction was going on the ruins were discovered.
The Pyramid of Huitzilopochtli is what is located here. This is the sun god. There is also a museum located here that houses the srtifacts that were found here. This was a very important religious site of the Aztec people.
