Kalasasaya Temple

Directly behind the Sunken/Semi-Subterranean Temple is the Kalasasaya Temple.  The Kalasasaya Temple contains the 2 remaining monoliths and 2 unusual magnetic stones along with my favorite monument, the Gate of the Sun.  I omitted the “Ponce” Monolith because you can find photos of it everywhere on the internet.  Parts of this Temple feel amazing, especially the Gate of the Sun :-)  Unfortunately, I did not photograph the 2 magnetic stones, so no photos of them either.  Supposedly, these 2 magnetic stones created a magnetic field that people had to work through to enter the inner temple.
