∙ 9y agoAt the Fall of Tenochtitlan (1521) most of present-day Mexico became part of the Spanish Empire. The city itself was razed to the ground, but Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes founded the new capital of the colony (Mexico City) at the site of the former Aztec city.
Hence, Mexico City could be considered as the latest incarnation of the city of Tenochtitlan.
