Why Visit the Templo Mayor Museum?

The Templo Mayor Museum in Mexico City showcases the relics of the Mexica civilisation found in the archaeological site of the ancient Templo Mayor de Tenochitlán.

This ticket allows you to explore the 8 exhibition halls, where 10,000 pieces are on display. Many of these objects come from offerings discovered during excavations of the temple.

Additionally, the entrance ticket grants access to the archaeological zone, which was the city of Tenochtitlan of the Aztec Empire before its destruction during Spanish colonisation. As you walk among these artefacts, you can envision what the temples dedicated to the god of rain, Tlaloc, and to the god of war, Huitzilopochtli looked like.

During your visit, you'll learn about the seven stages of construction of this great city, thought to have had up to 78 buildings! From the second era, some shrines remain somewhat intact, while from the third era, only certain staircases associated with the reign of Emperor Itzcoatl survive.
