The City had temples, canals, aqueducts and botanical gardens – the Spanish conquistadors were stunned by it all: All about us we saw cities and villages built in the water, their great towers and buildings of masonry rising out of it…When I beheld the scenes around me I thought within myself, this was the garden of the world.
—Bernal Diaz del Castillo, Spanish conquistador
