The Aztec were expert builders and made some of the most amazing structures in history. Their temples were so big it seems unbelievable that it was possible for them to be made during that time in history.
The Aztec's three main cities were Tlacopan, Texcoco, and Tenochitlan. Tenochitlan was the capital for the Aztec people, because it was the biggest city, because it was first inhabited by the Aztec (the city in the middle of the lake). Tlacopan, Texcoco, and Tenochitlan were all part of the triple alliance, which was all about a war treaty. In Tenochitlan, there were great markets, were locals and travelers alike would gather in massive courts. In the Aztec language they were called tianguis. This was the central part of the city where everyone was brought together.
