Ancient Palace of the Poet King Netzahualcoyotl which had rock hewn baths, conference rooms, treasury, statues created. Adjacent to the Axtec city of Texcoco, the palace included gardens watered by an extensive hydraulic system, which were decorated by statues and carvings associating the gardens Aztec mythology.
Designed in the 15th century, the palace and grounds are interpreted as both a symbol of imperial power and a pleasure centre for the aristocracy. The nearby city of Texcoco was the second only to the capital, Tenochtitlan, in both population and importance at the time of the Spanish conquest.
