700 Years of Tenochtitlan (again): Mexico honours its pre-Hispanic capital

Mexico is commemorating the 700th anniversary of the founding of México-Tenochtitlan with a series of public events including art installations, urban routes, performances, and dances organized by federal and local authorities. The festivities, centered on the Zócalo near the Templo Mayor site, feature large-scale reproductions of Mexica artifacts such as the Aztec Calendar Stone and the Coatlicue statue, along with a video-mapping projection titled "Memoria Luminosa" that narrates the city's history. The celebration follows a similar event in 2021 led by then-president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, which drew criticism for historical inaccuracies and political manipulation.
