Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325 by the Mexica people, who were guided by a prophecy that directed them to establish a city where they would see an eagle perched on a cactus, devouring a serpent. This vision led them to the marshy shores of Lake Texcoco in present-day Mexico City. The Mexica constructed their capital on an island, using innovative agricultural techniques such as chinampas, or floating gardens, to support their growing population. Over time, Tenochtitlan became a powerful city-state and the center of the Aztec Empire.
