Yaxchilán - Second Row

To the south of the main square lies the second row of buildings, of which Building 19 or the "Labyrinth" with its two altars is the most remarkable. The building has several entrances, with rooms on two levels linked to one another, and the remains of a roof-comb (crestería). Building 22 is also known as the Temple of the Inscriptions and has an unusual door-lintel and two altars. Building 20 or the Temple of the Bird Sacrifices possesses three entrances, but only one of these is intact. It is crowned by an elaborate lintel which depicts three elevated persons in rich apparel.
