Tecpan, Aztec archaeological monument in Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Mexico City, Mexico.

The Tecpan Tlatelolco monument includes remains of administrative buildings, temples, and ceremonial spaces from the pre-Hispanic period of Mexico City.

Built in 1338, this complex served as the governmental center of Tlatelolco, functioning independently from neighboring Tenochtitlan until 1473.

The structure represents the administrative organization of Aztec society, with spaces dedicated to political meetings and community gatherings.

Visitors can access the monument daily through guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical significance of each section.

Archaeological excavations at Tecpan Tlatelolco revealed a 700-year-old pyramid within the main temple complex, demonstrating multiple construction phases.
