Hernándo Cortés
Tenochtitlan.
The Aztec capital destroyed by Hernán Cortés in 1521 was Tenochtitlán. Located on an island in Lake Texcoco, it was a thriving city that served as the center of the Aztec Empire. Cortés and his forces, along with indigenous allies, laid siege to the city, leading to its eventual fall and significant destruction. The ruins of Tenochtitlán later became the site of Mexico City.
Hernán Cortés was the conquistador who overthrew the Aztec Empire in 1521. Francisco Pizarro was the conquistador responsible for conquering the Inca Empire, which he accomplished in the 1530s. Both played pivotal roles in the Spanish colonization of the Americas, leading to significant changes in the region's demographics and culture.
Tenochtitlan was the capital of the Aztec Empire until it was captured by the Spanish in 1521. Today, the ruins of Tenochtitlan are in the historic center of Mexico City.
