The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo, Vol 1 (of 2)

Note 22 — Chapter LXII

John Ingram Lockhart translation

Of this fortification Torquemada gives a different account. He says it was a wall of twenty feet in thickness, that it could be defended from the top; had only one entrance, defended by other works within, and was built by a cazique of the country, whom he calls Yztacmixtitlan, to protect the boundaries of his country against the incursions of the Tlascallans. (p. 145.)
