It was a city of more than 200,000 people around 1519 AD, founded by the Aztec empire in 1325. It was scattered between several islands on the Lake Texcoco and most islands were joined together by large stone bridges.
The largest island had an approximate area of 13.5 square kilometers (5.2 sq mi) and contained most public structures, such as the Main Temple, the Tlatelolco Market and the Calmecac(school for the children of Aztec nobility, for religious and military training). It was traversed by several canals, so that goods and people could be transported via canoe. Nowadays, it would be seen as the pre-Columbian version of Venice, Italy.
Most public structures were made of stone and were quite tall for the age; for instance the Main Temple measured some 80 by 100 meters (262 x 328 ft) and had a height of approximately 30 meters (98 ft). Commoners usually lived on the outskirts of the city, either on smaller islands or on the shores of the Texcoco. Water was brought in via two terracotta aqueducts from the western hills of the valley.
