This Post Classic (1200 – 1539 AD) building is nicknamed The Murals because of the brightly colored paintings discovered inside. The designs featured geometric motifs and stepped lines. This two-room structure was a community temple. Los Murales was also used by Mayan rulers to conduct court and important meetings. The thatched roof is not meant to duplicate the original. They are often erected at Mayan ruins to protect important contents and artifacts. Las Murales once had a stone, vaulted ceiling.
