Iglesia - Church

The so called Iglesia (church) is located in the immediate vicinity of the building Las Monjas. It is a very small building with only one room and a single access from the east. The design of the facade shows a clear contrast between the lower wall surfaces, worked out the little stones exist in irregular rows, and the stone mosaic about it. It seems that here instead of the usual stone facing some kind of presence has been used for towels, because at the bottom of the middle cornice there are numerous holes that have been used for its installation. This is a form of variable facade design, which otherwise in the Maya region is not known.

The bottom ledge has five horizontal bands, the middle of which consists of a carved in relief Stufenmänder. The cornice runs right around the entire building. The overlying wall surface on the front page shows three large Chac masks (two of them at the corners), can be seen between them in two small square niches of two sedentary animal-human figures. They are (from north to south), an armadillo, a snail, a turtle and a crab dar. Their bodies are with stem deep into the wall. The heads, which were developed fully plastic, have been cut off in all cases. They are used as figures of BACAB, mythical figures, which reflect the sky, interpreted. On the back of the building there are also three masks, which are inserted between flat motives, which are the same found on the short sides. The upper cornice runs also identical to the whole building and consists of four bands, while the second is from the bottom of obliquely juxtaposed stones. Snake heads at the corners sticking out of this band, which are only partially preserved.

About the facade a roof tower, resting on a band of fret, on a wall surface followed by three forward-oriented masks and only a simple conclusion to the top. On the back of roof with diagonally placed bricks is flat decorated. The function of the building is unclear, the frequent occurrence of Chac masks does not necessarily give an indication.
