Taltelolco was the most important commercial center of pre-Hispanic Mexico; Its name comes from the Nahuatl tlatelli, terrace or xaltilolli, sandy point . According to ethnohistoric sources, the Xochimilcas, Chalcas, Tepanecas, Culhuas, Tlahuicas, Tlaxcaltecas, and Mexicas were the groups that emigrated from Aztlán, the place of whiteness. These were looking for the land that their god Huitzilopochtli had promised them.
The area has been called, since the sixties, as the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, since it brings together the historical values of the three great periods of the national course: Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Modern Mexico. From the first moment we have the presence of more than 27 complete buildings, presided over by the different construction stages of the Templo Mayor.
