Bosque de Chapultepec is divided into four sections, with the first section being the oldest and most visited.

Baths Of Chapultepec
The Baths of Chapultepec are a series of pools used from the pre-Columbian period until the beginning of the 20th century, to house the water from the springs of Chapultepec Hill. The springs provided drinking water to Mexico City. Among the remains are the Baths of Moctezuma and the remains of colonial-era structures in Well 5, or Manantial Chico, of Chapultepec. History When Tenochtitlan began to grow and look for alternatives to supply water to its inhabitants, the Huey Tlatoani Chimalpopoca, in 1381, requested his grandfather Huey Tlatoani of Azcapotzalco Tezozomoc to allow him to take advantage of the springs of Chapultepec. Permission was granted and the Tenochcas began to build the aqueduct.* This aqueduct was not well performed by the Tenochcas and was one of the reasons for the war in which Tenochtitlan joined Texcoco to gain hegemony in the Valley of Mexico and then form the Aztec Triple Alliance (also known as the Aztec Empire). Chapultepec Hill had several springs, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
