Overview

Templo Mayor was the ceremonial center of Tenochtitlan. It stayed buried under
Mexico City until 1978, when electric company workers hit a carved monolith and
an entire block of the historic center had to come down.

First, the open-air ruins: the platforms of the twin pyramid built for Tlaloc
and Huitzilopochtli.

Then the museum, where your guide walks you through the main pieces and the
recent finds.
