Reading edition

It has been generally accepted that the temple in the centre of the city was visited, but Bernal Diaz, who is the only narrator of this excursion, states distinctly, in several places, that the pyramid ascended was situated in the Tlatelulco market-place, ‘adonde está aora señor Santiago, que se dize el Tlatelulco.’ Hist. Verdad., 70-1. The description of the temple court and interior is somewhat confused, and evidently combines points which belong to the central temple.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
