Uxmal - Temple II

(Local Name: Templo Interior Oriente) Temple II (Templo Interior Oriente), which has a central interior supported by pillars, is reached through an opening in the upper middle part of the east steps. Temple III (Templo Interior Poniente) is not visible from the outside. It adjoins the rear part of Temple II and consists of a small shrine and an antechamber. The steps on the west side, which have a gradient of 60°, do not possess a balustrade in the traditional sense. The parapet is set back and formed by stylised Chac masks which frame the steps.
