Bonampak,
State Chiapas, México Great Plaza and Acropolis Late Classic (600-900 AD) VII-VIII centuries AD |
Comments: Bonampak's Great Plaza is one of the most spacious in the region, measuring 80 by 100 meters. Its location as the approach to the Acropolis with its long stepped platforms provides the combined whole with a sense of monumentality. Stela 1 is visible in the centre. |
