The Aztec pictogram for Tenochtitlan consists of a combination of symbols, primarily featuring a cactus with an eagle perched on it, which represents the founding site of the city. The cactus symbolizes the location where the Mexica people saw an eagle on a nopal cactus, signifying the prophecy that led them to establish Tenochtitlan. Additionally, the name Tenochtitlan itself is often represented with glyphs that include images of water and a stone, reflecting its meaning as "the place of the prickly pear cactus."
