Templo Las Pinturas is named after the frescos and paintings located inside. Unfortunately, the Temple of Paintings is roped off to visitors. It was common in Mayan architecture to build massive pyramids such as this for their temples. On the top platform they would often construct a small stone or wooden structure covered by a thatched roof. These were called triadic groups. The Temple of Paintings was built between 1100 and 1450 AD in the Post Classic period.
