Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: This building owes its name to the rows of pillars displaying carvings of warriors. It was erected over an ancient structure know as the Temple of Chac Mool, upon whose walls and interior pillars there are richly coloured carvings of plumed serpents, warriors, and priests. The upper building only partially reflects its true grandeur. There are three sculpted masks with extremely long noses on the outer walls and at the corners. On the inner walls of the vaults there were murals with scenes of war and daily life. The altar-tables and benches may have served as seats and thrones for dignitaries.
Chac Mool can be seen at the top of the stairs. |
