After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, they built Mexico City on the ruins of Tenochtitlan. The layout of Mexico City was designed with a central plaza, which became the heart of colonial administration and religious life, featuring the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace. The Spanish also constructed various infrastructure, including roads, churches, and aqueducts, to establish a colonial urban center that reflected European architectural styles and urban planning principles.
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.
