Temple of the Frescoes


The Temple of Frescoes, located at the approximate center of the "city." This structure was built in 2 stages -- the ground valut is the oldest temple on the site and retains a good bit of the decoration, although we weren't able to see that on the day we were there. The upper temple is reached by outer staircase. Mayans depicted their world through flat, multi-chromatic frescoes and three dimensional reliefs on walls and stele.
