The main temple of Tezcatlipoca in Tenochtitlan was known as the Templo Mayor, which served as the central temple of the Aztec capital. Dedicated to the god Tezcatlipoca, a deity associated with night, sorcery, and conflict, the temple was a key site for religious ceremonies and rituals. It was part of a larger complex that also honored the god Huitzilopochtli, reflecting the duality of Aztec cosmology. The Templo Mayor was a prominent feature of Tenochtitlan until the Spanish conquest in the early 16th century.
