Teotihuacán - Patio de los Cuatro Templitos

 
Returning from the Sun Pyramid along the "Street of the Dead", on the left on a terrace we see the remains of four temples, which have been called the Patio of the Four Small Temples (Patio de los Cuatro Templitos). Further on, on the right-hand side, we see a long primitive wall said to have been built by the Chichimecs. Behind it, underneath a protective roof, there are interesting wall paintings depicting a jaguar of about 2m/6.5ft in length. Before the street opens out into the Square of the Moon Pyramid (Plaza de la Pirámide de la Luna), we see on the left the Temple of the Mythological Animals (Templo de los Animales Mitológicos), in which the remains of frescos of animal figures have been found, and the Temple of Agriculture (Templo de la Agricultura), the original frescos of which, depicting plants, cannot be viewed - only copies of them.
