Tetzcotzinco
On the slopes of the Tetzcotzinco hill, there are the impressive archaeological remains of a recreational space that the emperor poet Netzahualcóyotl had created for resting, meditation and pleasure.
It is said that the design was designed by the ruler himself, it included palaces, altars and temples, pools for bathing and a complex system of aqueducts that brought water from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, more than 6 km away. The aqueduct is considered one of the most important hydraulic works from pre-Hispanic times.
The site's historical value lies in its hydraulic system but also in its vast gardens, with stairways, channels and sculptures. It was a center for astronomical observations and for performing of social, political and religious rituals.
The so-called Bath of Xochitl stands out, it is believed to have belonged to the wife of the Poet King. It has a circular font that is accessible by a staircase, with vestiges of the sculptures of frogs still preserved.
