15 Northern Colonnade at Chichen Itza, Mexico

The Northern Colonnade is the most beautiful part of the Thousand Columns Plaza. The well-preserved round and square columns topped with square capitals stretch for almost 600 feet. Inside was an altar fronted by a long bench. The wall runs parallel to the Temple of the Warriors. A keen eye will spot what seem to be elephant trunks at the edges. These sculptures represent Chaak, the Mayan god of rain and lightning.
