Adoratorio de Ehécatl, Aztec ceremonial shrine in Centro Histórico, Mexico City.
The circular stone structure measures 10.7 meters wide and 3.7 meters tall, featuring multiple levels with ceremonial spaces dedicated to different deities.
Discovered in 1967 during Metro construction, the monument dates back to 1400 AD when the Mexica civilization established their presence in Tenochtitlan.
The structure contains five superimposed altars, with the lower section dedicated to Tlaloc, rain deity, and upper sections to Ehecatl, wind deity.
Located near Pino Suarez Metro station, the archaeological site remains accessible to visitors through guided tours explaining Aztec architectural techniques.
Archaeological excavations revealed a stone sculpture of a pregnant monkey wearing a mask, representing Ehecatl in an uncommon form.
