Cortés in Tenochtitlán Cortés in Tenochtitlán Hernando Cortés was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who landed on the coast of Mexico in 1519. Learning of the powerful Aztec empire and its capital city of Tenochtitlán, Cortés traveled over one hundred miles inland to find the city and claim the Empire for Spain. At the time, the city of Tenochtitlán was home to over 100,000 people and one of the largest cities in the world. In August 1521, the Spanish and their Native American allies defeated the Aztecs and conquered the city. The Spanish leveled Tenochtitlán and built Mexico City on the site of the Aztec capital. Primary sources, such as the accounts written by Hernando Cortés and other Spanish officials, are the only surviving writings we have of this once great city.
