The Aztec city built on the site of Tenochtitlan was originally known as Tenochtitlan itself. Founded in 1325, it became the capital of the Aztec Empire and was renowned for its impressive architecture, complex society, and extensive trade networks. Tenochtitlan was located on an island in Lake Texcoco, which contributed to its strategic and defensive advantages. Today, the ruins of Tenochtitlan are largely beneath modern-day Mexico City.
