Description: The first part of this work tells the story of the Aztecs, from when they left the mythical Aztlán to when they settled on Chapultepec Hill, the construction of the Great Temple and the end of the Aztec empire as a result of the Spanish Conquest.

The second part describes the Sacred Precinct, with selected photographs, following the tour visitors make step by step as they appreciate the architecture and sculptures.

The third section of the guide consists of a tour through the different rooms of the museum, opened in 1987 to display the archaeological finds made in the main buildings of Great Tenochtitlan.

Designed by the architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, the museum reflects the building plan of the Great Temple itself. Its eight rooms display spectacular original pieces: life-size terracotta figures, objects made of greenstone, shell, obsidian, turquoise. gold and other materials found in caches of offerings. These all help to show the mythic and religious art of what was one of the last cultural expressions of pre-Hispanic Mexico: the Aztecs.
