Templo Mayor Museum
Templo Mayor Museum
Templo Mayor Museum (Calle Seminario 8, Centro Historico, Mexico City) – this site (the great temple of the Aztec people), is located in the center of the Mexican capital. Many tourists miss out on visiting this outstanding archaeological site because they don’t know it is there. Although it is right beside the Cathedral, and a stone’s throw from the Zocalo and the Palacio Nacional, it is easy to miss if you’re not searching for it. It is a worthwhile visit and will put the city’s long history into greater context.
The Templo Mayor museum was built beside the archaeological site, so visitors can now see the remains of the main Aztec temple, along with the excellent museum that explains it and contains many items that were found on the site. Admission: MX$70 per person (free for Mexican citizens & residents on Sundays). Hours: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm (Tuesday – Sunday). Closed on Monday.
