Mexico city was built on top of the remains of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan.
The ancient Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan was located on an island in Lake Texcoco, where modern-day Mexico City now stands. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the 16th century, they destroyed much of the city and built Mexico City on top of the ruins, using the stones from the Aztec temples and buildings for their own construction. This is why archaeologists find evidence of the ancient Aztec capital in the center of Mexico City today.
