When Spanish conquistadors first encountered the capital of the Aztec world, Tenochtitlán (now present day Mexico City) they looked at the homes built on floating island structures known as chinampas and dubbed the city “The Venice of the New World.”
At the time of Spanish Conquest, Tenochtitlán was larger than most of the cities in Europe, including Paris and Rome. The population, which was between 15,000 and 20,000, was largely non-farming.
