Chacmultún - West Group

Chacmultún (Maya for "hill of red stone") consists of three groups. The first is the west group (Chacmultún). Building 3 consists of several rooms in which remains of wall-paintings have been found. Building 1 has a central flight of steps and columned entrances; it is positioned on a high terraced plateau and has clustered columns on its upper façade. A well-preserved hut-like niche is reminiscent of Labná architecture. In one of the relatively large rooms six projecting foot-shaped stones are of particular interest. Building 2 boasts an unusual flight of steps surrounded by vaulted rooms.
