Acatitlan (Nahuatl: "place among the reeds"; Spanish "carrizal") is an early Aztec archaeological site located in the municipality of Tlalnepantla de Baz in Mexico. In pre-Hispanic times it was located on the northwest shore of Lake Texcoco. Acatitlan declined after the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the city was destroyed so its stone could be used to construct Christian churches.
