Templo Mayor
The Templo Mayor was the main temple of the Mexica people in their capital city of Tenōchtitlan, which is now Mexico City. Erected in its final form in the late Postclassic period, the temple was called Huēyi Teōcalli in the Nahuatl language, meaning 'great church' or 'great house of god', and understood to be the center of the universe.
