Monte Albán - Middle Row

Three buildings belonging to the Middle Row (G, H, I) form a group which was probably used to house altars. The central construction H (45 m (148 ft) 3 30 m (98 ft)) has a wide flight of steps leading to a twin-sectioned temple. A little lower are two temple rooms with two columns in front of them. The pair of flanked constructions G and I are almost identical: temples rest on two platforms, the lower with vertical walls, the upper with slanted ones; the steps lead to the north and to the south.
