Temple of the Big Tables

Built between 900 and 1200 AD, the Temple of the Big Tables was named for overlapping levels. These four plateaus are crowned by a temple with two columns. The shape mimics the shape of the much larger Temple of the Warriors.

The temple has undergone some restoration in 1990. In front of the temple, a frieze has been placed to show the amazing procession of jaguars among trees and spear bundles. The second level has a carved feathered serpent.
