THE SMALL ACROPOLIS

This compound is one of the oldest in
Edzna, like the Great Acropolis, and it has
a sacbe at the west side.
The largest building is at the east.
It is a quadrangular basement 70 m per
side and 5 m height. The buildings were
erected during the Early Classic
(250-600 AD) and correspond to the
Peten architecture. The largest building
is at the east.

The buildings underwent their largest
modifications during the Terminal
Classic (900-1000 AD) and the
Post-Classic (1000-1400 AD). During this
last period, the old Mayas gathered
several steles previously related to other
buildings. Another post-classic evidence
are the steps of the eastern structure
since they were re-used in other
monuments.
