At the Templo Mayor, you will discover the roots of Mexican gastronomy. The Aztecs, who founded Tenochtitlan, the place where you stand, revered corn, which originated here. Ancestral ingredients, which still form part of Mexican cuisine today, symbolize the effort of working the land, the sun, and the rain that allowed food to grow. The Aztecs viewed food as a gift from the gods.
