Descripción: Ver traducción automática

The structure, with its unusual placement on the platform and its round shape (the others are rectangular, in keeping with Maya practice), is theorized to have been a proto-observatory with doors and windows aligned to astronomical events, specifically around the path of Venus.

The Maya their highest state of development during AD 250 to 900. Photographed by Désiré Charnay (1828-1915) in 1882.
