Templo Mayor Museum and Archaeological Site
Visit the excavated ceremonial heart of Tenochtitlan and its museum together, moving between exposed foundations and objects that help explain the Mexica capital.
Templo Mayor makes the layers of Mexico City's center unusually tangible. The ruins preserve successive building stages of a sacred precinct, while the museum gives scale and meaning to objects that can be difficult to read outdoors. Leave time for both parts: the museum is essential to understanding what survives at ground level.
