Templo Mayor Museum

The Great Temple is located next to the central square. It is a super convenient attraction. The original temple has been destroyed by Spanish colonists. Only the tower base and stone steps remain, but the architecture of that time is still amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This semi-excavated site has clear signs in English and Spanish and is an important historical site well worth a visit. It is worth noting that there are quite a few stairs to go up and down, which may be difficult for people with limited mobility.

The devastated Teocari Grand Temple Transportation: 📍Located in the northeast corner of the Plaza de la Constitución, take the subway to Zocalo, which is the Plaza de la Constitución station (by the way, it is worth mentioning that the subway station is marked with various patterns, so you will never get off at the wrong station even if you are unfamiliar with the place.) 🎫Tickets: 70 pesos Includes the outdoor Grand Temple ruins and the indoor Grand Temple unearthed cultural relics 🔺The outdoor exhibition hall is the Grand Temple ruins of Teocari, with only the tower base and stone steps left. This is really a bloody accusation against the Spanish invaders. The Aztec civilization has since declined. 🔺The indoor exhibition includes 8 theme pavilions plus 1 sub-exhibition hall, witnessing the gradual development and growth of the Aztec civilization, and then from prosperity to decline. 🛕Opening hours: Closed on Monday, 9:00-17:00 from Tuesday to Sunday 📝Tips for visiting: Drinks and food are not allowed inside, and must be discarded or deposited at the electronic security checkpoint.

This is the largest Mayan cultural site in Mexico City, once a large-scale temple to sacrifice the feather snake god. In the stone carvings left by the site, there are many statues of the feather snake god, both mysterious and beautiful. Next to the temple site is a large museum, showing many exquisite artifacts unearthed here, don't miss it.

I love this place, every time my foreign friends come to visit Mexico City we make sure to visit Templo Mayor to learn more about Mexican history, besides that, is centrally located and next to other attractions which can be fun for a whole day visiting Mexico City downtown.

The Great Temple is a favorite attraction for me. Although the Great Temple and the city of Teocchittlan have sunk to the ground because of the disappearance of Lake Teocchittlan, the site gives us a glimpse of the style of the year. The museum of the Great Temple is doing a great job, and the collection of cultural relics is as rich as the National Museum of Anthropology. I suggest you reserve a day for this attraction.
