| Summary: | The colonial period historical descriptions of the eighteen celebrations of the Mexica solar year religious ceremonies offer a rich set of data on Mexica’s ritual life.

In this work, we intend to approach these topics, in the case of the etzalcualiztli celebration dedicated to the aquatic gods, by drawing the attention on three aspects: the use of religious places, the creation of ritual objects and the logic of the ceremonial processions which took place in the urban space of Mexico-Tenochtitlan |
