Templo Mayor

The center of the Aztec Empire, the Templo Mayor (Main Temple) was once the site of sacred offerings and an altar for worshipping the deities of war and rain. The Spanish covered over and buried the temple when they conquered the Aztec people, but over the years it has been uncovered. It's amazing to see this in the heart of the city!
