Mexico City/Tenochtitlan

from Cronicas al Sur del Rio Grande (Episodios de Historia Latino Americana) · host Un Podcast de Juan Carlos Navarrete

The Mexica—who arrived from the mythical Aztlán—founded it within the marshes of Lake Tlatelolco. What began as a mere boon for a newly arrived people would eventually transform into one of the first—if not *the* first—megalopolises of antiquity; and history would hold in store for it a life filled with disillusionments, joys, and unparalleled cultural vibrancy: Mexico City.
