Sacred Platform of the Templo Mayor

This stone platform (14th–16th cc.) forms part of the Templo Mayor and shows masonry tiers associated with major ritual spaces. The structure belonged to precincts honoring Huitzilopochtli and Tlāloc and anchored Mexica ceremonial activity. Its position amid colonial and modern buildings shows how urban layers preserve conquest, survival, and cultural memory.
