The temple at the end of the grand Calzada it'sthe Moon Pyramid (Another building named by the aztecs, the real name it's unknown), it's part of an important complex named (no way!!) Moon Plaza, this large space, which is surrounded by thirteen buildings, was a splendid space for public rituals. Although he was called by the Aztecs, "the closure of the moon" (meztli itzacual), in reality, according to some exploratory excavations, is much more likely thath was dedicated to the goddess of fertility and water.
Unlike the pyramid of the Sun, the Moon pyramid was the product of at least seven stages contructed. In each of these extensions were made that led to the large volume that visitors now see. Each time one of these extensions was constructed which enhanced dedicatory complex rituals, which included the deposit of rich offerings and sacrifices.
