Casa de las águilas, Archaeological building at Templo Mayor, Mexico
The Casa de las Águilas stands at the northern section of Templo Mayor, featuring polychrome murals and benches decorated with eagle warrior representations.
Built around 1430, this ceremonial structure served as a preparation space for Mexica rulers and contained numerous religious offerings including pulque and animal remains.
The building displays Neo-Toltec architectural elements and contains multiple representations of Mictlantecuhtli, demonstrating the religious practices of pre-Hispanic Mexico.
The archaeological site operates under the management of INAH and requires protective covering to shield the ancient structures from weather conditions.
Excavations in the 1980s revealed two eagle warrior sculptures that determined the current name of this ceremonial structure.
