The architectural plan of the Royal Chapel, contrary to popular opinion, is not inspired by an Islamic mosque, but by the cosmic conception of Mexican ancestors. The nine naves from north to south represent the nine levels from earth to heaven. The seven naves from east to west represent Chicomecoatl, Mother Earth, whose festival is still celebrated in the Royal Chapel under the name of Altepetlhuitl or Festival of the People.
