Tenochtitlan | Vibepedia

Tenochtitlan was the awe-inspiring capital of the Aztec Empire, founded in 1325 on a marshy island in Lake Texcoco, rising to become Mesoamerica's largest city with up to 400,000 inhabitants. Connected by causeways and engineered with chinampas for agriculture, it dazzled Spanish conquistadors with its grandeur before falling in 1521. Today, its ruins lie beneath Mexico City, a testament to Mesoamerican ingenuity.
