The Quarry


Here in the Quarry is a stairway to nowhere, a beautiful sculpure that was never moved to its designated site. (Or perhaps it was to lead to a structure next to it that was never built.)

The granite rock in the quarry was the source of much of the finished stonework found in the city.


On our way to the Pyramid from the Quarry and the Sacred Plaza we pass by the garden.
