The Temple of the Three Windows at the Sacred Plaza
Description
The Temple is on the eastern side of the Sacred Plaza. It has three windows that are unusually large. In the foreground is a carefully carved stepped stone next to an upright pillar. The stepped stone may symbolize mountains, a kind of echostone.
The wall at the far right has a niche (see next page) carved into the edges of two adjacent stones to form a support for a large beam which was across the front of the Temple at one time.
This wall at the right is a true “Inca wall” worth a look up close.
