The House of the Eagles is a Toltec style building that has several rooms, of which only three can be seen since the others are located under Justo Sierra street. In its interior we see bases of columns that supported the roof of the portico, as well as benches decorated with characters that go in procession, on which two ceramic sculptures of natural size were found, representing the eagle warriors; in Room 4 of the Museum one of them can be seen.

In this building the priests carried out private religious ceremonies, such as prayers, spiritual recollection, fasting and sacrifices. The rituals included meditation, prayer, penance and the making of offerings. The building was built and expanded three times between 1430 and 1500. During the tour we can observe two of these three construction stages, the oldest (Stage I) is buried.

Around 1470, during the government of Axayácatl, the building was expanded (Stage II). To know the interior of this precinct today is a privilege that not many Mexica had, because very few had access to it. The House of the Eagles was destroyed during the Conquest and was buried under the church of Santiago Apostle.
