Edifice XVI
Edifice XVI, with Edifice XVII in the right background, at Bonampak

After visiting Edifice XV (Roman numeral “15”), we moved on to Edifice XVI (“16”).  I did not feel anything from this temple.  It is basically just a foundation at this point.


According to the INAH Plaque accompanying this temple, Edifice XVI (“16”) has the typical Bonampak stairway with low reinforcements and steps made from large stone blocks.  The present temple partially covers 2 previous temples,  which the 2 stelae on the upper part of Edifice XVI (“16”) originally belonged to 1 of these previous temples.
