Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec empire, illustrated a report entitled Sang per als déus (Blood for the Gods), published in Sàpiens, the historical publication magazine written in Catalan. The information was about the practices of human sacrifice carried out by the Aztecs. Of Nahua culture and language, the Aztec was people of farmers, merchants, and warriors. Settled in the swampy lands of the Valley of Mexico, Aztecs built, between the 14th and 16th centuries, an empire in Mesoamerica that extended through the center of the current Mexican country and reached the Gulf and Pacific coasts.
