A Portrait of Tenochtitlan
Almost two years of research has been developed into a “3D reconstruction of the capital of the Aztec Empire”, Tenochtitlan. You can navigate the website in English, Spanish, or Nahuatl, and key facts about the city are broken down with different ariel views—including “living metropolis”, “organized society”, and “Tlatelolco,” the twin city that was just to the north. Photos of contemporary Mexico City meld with the reconstructions in slider features, showing your students the change between cities. Find the entire site here.
