North of the Templo Major is a building called House of the Eagles, the double pyramid is dedicated to the Aztec gods Tlaloc and Huitzilopochtli. At the entrance on both sides you will find two life-size ceramic sculptures of Eagle Warriors. These great sculptures highlight the role of the elite warriors in Aztec military.

In Aztec civilization, all boys learned about warfare. However, only the best students advanced to become either an Eagle warrior or Jaguar warrior. The Eagles were warriors of the sun, for the eagle was the symbol of the sun. Along with the Jaguar warriors, what made the Eagle warriors such an elite class was that entry into this warrior society was not limited to nobility, but open to commoners known as "macehuales". They were the most feared and famous of all Aztec soldiers.
