Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the Aztec Empire, located on an island in Lake Texcoco in what is now Mexico City. It was founded in 1325 and served as the political, religious, and cultural center of the Aztec civilization. Tenochtitlan was known for its impressive architecture, advanced engineering, and bustling marketplaces. The city was conquered by Spanish conquistadors in 1521 and was subsequently destroyed and rebuilt as Mexico City.
