Summary

Description
English: Detail of the map of the city of Mexico-Tenochtitlan from a 1524 edition of the second letter to the king of Spain Carlos I sent by the Spanish captain Hernán Cortés, which was likely based on an original map sent by him along with the letter in 30 October 1520. In this map, the north is pointing at the right. The detail shows the location of the palace of emperor Moctezuma II of Mexico (labeled Domus Don Muteczuma) at the left, which was south of the central plaza of the city, and the Totocalli (labeled Domus Animalum), the zoo built as part of the palace complex, also next to the central plaza.

En este mapa el norte apunta a la derecha. El detalle muestra la localización del palacio del emperador Moctezuma II de México (nombrado Domus Don Muteczuma) en la izquierda, que se encontraba al sur de la plaza central de la ciudad, y el Totocalli (nombrado Domus Animalum), el zoológico construido como parte del complejo del palacio, también junto a la plaza central.
