The Aztec Capital: The Great City of Tenochtitlán in Mexico
The great city of Tenochtitlán is built in the midst of this salt lake, and it is two leagues from the heart of the city to any point on the mainland. Four causeways lead to it, all made by hand and some twelve feet wide. The city itself is as large as Seville or Córdova. The principle streets are very broad and straight, the majority of them being of beaten earth, but a few and at least half the smaller thoroughfares were waterways along which they pass in their canoes. Moreover even the principal streets have openings at regular distances so that the water can freely pass from one to another, and these openings which are very broad are spanned by great bridges of huge beams, very stoutly put together, so firm indeed that over many of them ten horsemen can ride at once.
