NOHOCHNÁ

The Large House (from the Yucatecan Maya:
nohoch / large and na / house) has a
longitudinal axis of 135 m, oriented in the
north- south direction, as well as a very large
staircase with 15 large and high steps that
cover almost all the east side.

In the upper part there are four large rooms
that originally had a vaulted roofing. The
access to them was through wide pilasters.
The interior spaces suggest an
administrative use purpose (hearings,
accounting, merchandise control and
distribution, etc.) as well as gathering
diverse goods of a taxation nature that were
collected here. Likewise, the steps size refers
that these could have been stands for
events that took place in the main plaza
and in the western plaza.
