GhengisFarb:
that looks much better, now you can really see the underlying terrain!
For all others interested in using GF's graphics or editing their own, the ruins files are in
\CIV2PTW\Art\Cities
there are also other ruins files in
\Art\City View\Miscellaneous
but I don't know what they're used for.
XarXo:
When the Spanish conquered the Aztecs, they pretty much razed the city and renamed it Mexico City, originally Tenochtitlan had been build in an island in the middle of a huge lake. The spanish dried up the lake and kept on building on it. By the time of independence in the 1820's most of the lake was dried up and nothing remained of the ancient city.
During the 1960's and 70's when the subway was being constructed in downtown, they discovered many ruins of what was once Tenochtitlan, over a block of ruins was dug out of the ground and is open to the public.
As for why we haven't re-renamed the city Tenochtitlan, well, IMO, the Mexico of today is a blend of both Indian and European cultures and the city reflects it, most of the old historical buldings (and there are thousands, Mexico City has the largest historical core in the entire western hemisphere) are a blend of spanish-colonial style with indian motifs and art here and there which spring up in the decorations since most of the workers were indian. Maybe it is for these reasons that even though Tenochtitlan was a great and beutiful city, our reality is that it no longer exists and in its place is another city which regardless of its countless problems is one we are proud of (at least us locals..  )
here's some links on the ruins if you're interested:

raguil_79,
I am like bongo in that I was just so excited to finally have ruins that I didn't much care what they looked like.
However, eventually they do start to "ruin" (pun intended) the landscape. I usually just plant a forest over the ruins (if the square is not w/in a city radius) otherwise I work the tile for the benefit of my city.
But now, thanks to GhengisFarb, I have the ultra cool ruins graphics to use. Perhaps I'll plant forrest around the ruins now.....
