Central Tenochtitlan was inhabited by priests and the ruling classes. The temple dedicated to Tezcatlipoca was adjoined by buildings used by the priests dedicated to sect. With the fall of Tenochtitlan, this temple was destroyed, but a living area was reused as a house by the Spanish soldier, Pedro González Trujillo. Later, several structures were built on the same site. In 2013, the vestiges of the living quarters were recovered. The Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico occupied much of the same site, and later, a cantina "El Nivel" operated here under license number 1.
