Four buildings arranged around a rectangular square, with beautiful bas-reliefs representing anthropomorphic figures

These four buildings, arranged around a rectangular square, have facades decorated with beautiful bas-reliefs representing anthropomorphic figures, animals (snakes, jaguars, owls) or masks of the god of Rain, Chac. According to the Spaniards, the openings leading to the interior chambers were to serve as a residence for Mayan priests, hence the name Quadrilateral of the Nuns. This is where one sits in the evening to watch the sound and light show.

Cuadrangulo de las Monjas, Uxmal, Mexique
De magnifiques reliefs ornent les façades des quatre édifices entourant la place rectangulaire du Cuadrangulo de las Monjas ou quadrilatère des nonnes. Un endroit où j'ai pu prendre son temps pour distinguer serpents, jaguars et autres animaux. C’est l’un des monuments que j’ai préférés sur ce site.
