Aztec temples were usually found at the top of pyramids and they are often called temple-pyramids . Designed using ancient Mesoamerican architectural traditions that went back thousands of years (pic 1), temple-pyramids were tall structures forming four main platforms, with grand stairways running up one side; you can see them in the picture above, which comes from an old Aztec book, the Codex Ixtlilxochitl.

Templo Mayor was a part of the sacred area of the city of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City. It was only one of perhaps 75-80 buildings which included other pyramids, ornamental walls, gathering places, shops and, of course, bathrooms. Since the city was build on swampy ground, the temples would often sink and needed to be repaired and built up over the years.

The temple itself was the main religious building of the capitol city, and it had two shrines on the top - one to Huitzilopochtli and one to Tlaloc. Huitzilopochtli (Hummingbird of the South) was the patron god of the Mexica people, the one who led them to Tenochtitlan in the first place. He was the god of the sun and war. Tlaloc was the god of rain and fertility. Both gods required constant human sacrifice. During the final phase of construction, thousands were sacrificed.

Many, many rituals were done at the temple - human sacrifice, of course, is the most well known. But there were many more, such as the private ritual blood-letting, burning of copal (a tree resin), and the music of worship. This Aztec temple represented the Hill of Coatepec, where the Mexicas believed Huitzilopochtli was born.

Aztecs say that rebuilding pyramids was important because more glorious temples would honour the gods, and hopefully make them happier.

Often a whole area of a city would be dedicated to religious activities.  Some monuments would be made to specific gods.  Some were built for specific celebrations.  The buildings you probably associate with the Aztec religion are the great pyramids.  These were four sided, stable structures that can withstand the earthquakes that are common in the area.  These would have stairs up one side, and a flat top, often with a shrine on the top.  Let's take a look at some of the Aztec temples specifically:

Most pyramids started as small platforms made of organic materials such as clay and wood. Over time, as the Aztecs became more powerful and wealthy,bigger pyramids were built on top of the old ones.

Some Aztec houses have flat roofs and some where pinched. Some where built on platforms. Platform houses were about 40cm off the ground, usually of a wattle-and-daub construction using wood as a brace, and an earth, clay, sand etc mixture but most of them where straight on the ground.
