Uncover Aztec Culture & Architecture

Join our live virtual tour to learn about the pre-Hispanic history of Mexico and virtually see impressive Aztec buildings that survived throughout centuries. Ok Built in the sixteenth century by the Spanish on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, the old Aztec capital, Mexico City is literally a live museum where the past lies not only on but also underneath the earth. At the time of the Spanish arrival in 1519, the Aztec capital was among the biggest cities in the world, with perhaps as many as 200,000 inhabitants. In less than 200 years, it evolved from a small settlement on an island in the western swamps of Lake Texcoco into the powerful political, economic, and religious center of the greatest empire of Pre-Columbian Mexico.
