What people say
Sara Lemeire
" Templo Mayor (translation: main temple) was the centerpiece of Tenochtitlán, the ancient Aztec capital, constructed in 1325 in the marshes of Lake Texcoco. The temple was mowed over and replaced by a cathedral during the Spanish conquest in 1521. Today, the hulking stone ruins lie at the heart of Centro Histórico, embedded in the blueprint of downtown. Surrounded by streets and buildings, it is hard to imagine the temples in their original Aztecan glory, but the nicely organized museum helps paint the full picture."

"Right in the middle of the Zócalo is the Templo Mayor Museum, the actual site of what was once the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan.
Pro tip: You can get 75% of the value from the free area that provides a lookout over the ruins, but if you want to pay the fee to go inside the museum, you will be able to get closer to the ruins and have access to the museum portion that houses the artifacts. "
