Castle, west side (the merlons on the crest of the temple roof are Toltec in origin)
Like all pyramid construction in Mayan cities, the castle is a stepped pyramid with ceremonial stairways on all four sides. Although some Mayan pyramids contain the burial chambers of prominent rulers, their primary function was ceremonial (religious), unlike the tomb-pyramids of ancient Egypt.
