The Great Wall of Tenochtitlan, often referred to in the context of the ancient Aztec city, is not an actual wall but rather a series of defensive structures and canals that surrounded the city. Tenochtitlan was located on an island in Lake Texcoco, in present-day Mexico City. The city's defenses included dikes, causeways, and water barriers to protect against invasions. Today, remnants of Tenochtitlan can be explored at the Templo Mayor archaeological site in Mexico City.
