Synopsis In this work, Mexican archaeologist Eduardo Matos Moctezuma recounts the history of one of the most impressive Mesoamerican cities: Tenochtitlan. Drawing on the accounts of key figures such as Hernán Cortés, Fray Bernardino de Sahagún, and Bernal Díaz del Castillo, the author presents this ancient Mexica capital from its heyday to its destruction. He recounts the daily life, customs, and social organization of Tenochtitlan, as well as the heroic resistance and struggle of its inhabitants in the face of the siege and the city’s eventual fall.
