Its not that simple
The catholic missionaries were complaining to Cortes that he should destroy the pagan temples since indians were still holding their ritul, and it seemed that he didnt care at all about those conplaints
The destruction of the pyramids & temples was not done overnight but rather was happening throughout the decades
So it seems theres a time frame when meso & western buildings coexisted togehther
It is my impression that the conquistadors didnt want to tear all down, it had more to do with the catholic missions
