The Templo Mayor, also known as the Great Temple, was a large temple pyramid complex located in the city of Tenochtitlan, which was the capital of the Aztec empire. It was a central religious and ceremonial site dedicated to the Aztec gods Huitzilopochtli (the god of war) and Tlaloc (the god of rain and agriculture). It was considered the most important temple in the Aztec empire and was a focal point of religious and political activity. The Templo Mayor was constructed in a stepped pyramid design and featured multiple terraces topped with twin shrines. It was adorned with elaborate sculptures, carvings, and symbols of Aztec mythology. The complex was destroyed by Spanish conquistadors in 1521 during the conquest of the Aztec empire, and the ruins were later built upon by the Spanish colonizers. Today, the remains of the Templo Mayor can be seen within the Templo Mayor Museum in Mexico City.
