description 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. Nevertheless, the spatial dimension regarding the characterization and the distribution of the places of worship, as well as the urban itineraries taken by the participants are research topics that have not been investigated enough. 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
