Yagul - Patio of the Triple Tomb

(Local Name: Patio de la Triple Tumba) The lower, mainly excavated part of the site is the Patio of the Triple Tomb (Patio de la Triple Tumba), which comprises four temples and in the middle a sacrificial square. On the left-hand side of the square there is the sculpture of a seated toad which symbolises the rain god.

From a platform in the middle of the patio it is possible to go down through the left opening into a tomb which consists of three chambers. These have elaborate façades with human heads made of stone and contained the skeletons of dignitaries and rich burial offerings. Both sides of the memorial slab are decorated with finely-worked hieroglyphs.
