Teotenango - D Complex

The most extensive area of the Sistema Norte is the D complex. As well as platforms, dwelling-places and patios, a building 120 x 40 m (472 3 131 ft) in area was discovered, the so-called "Serpent Base" (Basamento de la Serpiente). In front of this the Plaza de la Serpiente (Square of the Serpent), probably once the market place, stretches out. It is bounded on the west by the Calle de la Rana (Street of the Frog) and on the north by the Plaza del Durazno (Square of the Peach). The Plaza de la Serpiente and the Calle de la Rana take their names from a snake-shaped relief and a sculpture of a frog, both of which were discovered here.
