The most important was the Templo Mayor (Great Temple), a twin-pyramid dedicated to Huitzilopochtli (god of war/sun) and Tlaloc (god of rain). It stood at the center of the ceremonial district and was the focal point of state rituals, including human sacrifice.
Other temples honored deities such as Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, and Xipe Totec, reflecting the complexity of Aztec cosmology.
