Informations supplémentaires

Located to the north of the el Castillo is the platform of Venus. There was never a permanent structure built aon top and it was likely used for public address or performances of some sort, such as dance or sacrifice. Like similar structures in the city it is inscribed on its base panels with images of Kukulkan and representations of the planet Venus, which is believed to have been of great symbolic importance to the Itza. The platform of Venus is also known as the Tomb of the Chacmool, as a Chacmool statue was found interred inside it during excavation.
