GREAT ACROPOLIS

The term acropolis refers to a series of
monumental constructions erected
on a large sized basement. This
architectonic compound is the result
of the construction and remodeling of
several monumental buildings along
several centuries. Its base has a
quadrangular floor 160 m per side and
an average height 8 m over the plaza
level.

The Mesoamerican peoples used to
orient their constructions with respect
to the cardinal directions and
celestial bodies. In the case of Edzna
the importance lies in the fact that at
the east the sun rises, worshipped by
the Mesoamerican societies.
