CortÃ©s in TenochtitlÃ¡n. Hernando CortÃ©s 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 TenochtitlÃ¡n, CortÃ©s traveled over one hundred miles inland to find the city and claim the Empire for Spain. At the time, the city of TenochtitlÃ¡n 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 TenochtitlÃ¡n and built Mexico City on the site of the Aztec capital.
