When excavating the center for the subway works of the Metro, a ceremonial complex was found between José María Izazaga Avenue and the Plaza de San Lucas. It consisted of several rooms and temples around an esplanade with stairways. What can be admired today is a circular temple dating from approximately 1400 AD. That curious shape helps us to know that it was dedicated to the God of the Wind, Ehécatl, in the Nahua tradition.
