The Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, is located in present-day Mexico City. Today, the ruins of Tenochtitlan can be found underneath modern Mexico City, particularly in the historic district of the city.

Both are one and the same. The city of Tenochtitlan was founded on March 13, 1325 by the Aztec civilization. On August 13 of 1521 they were conquered by Spanish conquistadores led by Hernan Cortes. They found the capital of their new colony on the site of ancient Tenochtitlan. By 1821, when Mexico gained its independence from Spain, the capital of the former colony came to be known as Mexico City.
