Aztec history and artifacts. Aztec ruins outside. Definitely worth a look. Right next to the Zocalo. Unbelievable how they once paved over these ruins. About $4 admission. more

This is a must see place.The last people to see this place before it was unearthed in 1978 were Spanish Conquistadores. There is an outdoor boardwalk around the outdoor part and a nice museum inside. There is a film to see in Spanish. And a model of the ruins before they were razed to make way for a new city.... more

I loved this museum as it shared so much history about the preHispanic civilization of Mexico! The culture and history are fascinating and it is wonderful to see the government give respect and credit to all the indigenous civilizations and their accomplishments in their building and maintenance of "The Great Temple". more
