Highlights
Let's dive into the remains of a building from the 14th Century which explains how the capital of the Mexica Empire functioned. During this experience we are going to visit the most important building for the mexicas, who ruled the city until it fell in August 1521. Templo Mayor was almost totally destroyed, and its construction materials were repurposed for building the first European like city. However, we are going to see buildings, mural paintings and artifacts which had been buried under the city's historic center for centuries, until they were discovered by the Urban Archaeology Program and the National Institute of Anthropology and History.

About Mexico City
Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.
The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
