„Temple Of The Frescos“

from the gallery of John Bailey
Description:

Among the more spectacular buildings here at the Tulum ruins in Mexico is the Temple of the Frescoes that included a lower gallery and a smaller second story gallery. The Temple of the Frescoes was used as an observatory for tracking the movements of the sun. Niched figurines of the Maya “diving god” or Venus deity decorate the facade of the temple.
