What was so strange about the location of Tenochtitlan?

There were two aqueducts over 2.5 miles long leading into the city that provided fresh water to the people living there. Large crowds of as many as 8,000 people would sometimes gather in the central area. The city was divided into four zones and twenty districts.

Tenochtitlan, also known as Mexica-Tenochtitlan, was a large Mexica altepetl in what is now the center of Mexico City.
