At its peak it was the largest city in the Pre-Columbian [[Awya Yala|Americas]]. It subsequently became a ''cabecera'' of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Today the ruins of Tenochtitlan are located in Mexico City's downtown.
Tenochtitlan was one of two Nahua ''āltēpetl'' (city-states) on the island, the other being Tlatelolco.

Traditionally, the name Tenochtitlan was thought to come from [[Nawa aru|Nahuatl]] ''tetl'' {{IPA-nah|ˈtetɬ|}} ("rock") and ''nōchtli'' {{IPA-nah|ˈnoːtʃtɬi|}} ("prickly pear") and is often thought to mean, "Among the prickly pears [growing among] rocks". However, one attestation in the late 16th-century manuscript known as "the Bancroft dialogues" suggest the second vowel was short, so that the true etymology remains uncertain.<ref>[//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Karttunen Frances Karttunen] (1983) ''An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl'' p.225, Texas linguistic series, University of Texas, Austin [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/9780292703650 ISBN 978-0-2927-0365-0]; {{oclc|230535203}}</ref>

Tenochtitlan covered an estimated {{Convert|8|to|13.5|km2}}, situated on the western side of the shallow Lake Texcoco.
At the time of Spanish conquests, Mexico City comprised both Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco. The city extended from north to south, from the north border of Tlatelolco to the [[Juqhu|swamps]], which by that time were gradually disappearing to the west; the city ended more or less at the present location of Avenida Bucareli.
