The Spanish viewed Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, with a mix of awe and disdain. They were impressed by its grandeur, sophisticated urban planning, and impressive architectural feats, including large temples and causeways. However, they also perceived the city as a symbol of barbarism due to the Aztec practice of human sacrifice, which fueled their justification for conquest. Ultimately, their admiration was overshadowed by their desire for wealth and control over the region.
