Kohunlich - East Building

(Local Name: Edificio Oriente) The large Plaza of the Stelae (Plaza de las Estelas) is named after the four monolithic stelae which were found in the East Building (Edificio Oriente) and are now set on either side of the staircase. The East Building, like the three others around the square, dates from the 8th c. ad, It is 60 m (200 ft) long, with nine tiers leading up to a temple on the summit. Of the original three doors only the middle one, the main entrance, survives.
