The Aztecs Built Temples Too
While Teotihuacan may not have originally been of Aztec design, the Aztecs also built plenty of similar religious sites during their tenure in the area. These include the impressive Templo Mayor, said to be built on the spot where the Mexica first received a sign from the god Huitzilopochtli that they had reached the Promised Land. Sadly, Templo Mayor was destroyed by the Spanish to make room for a cathedral.
