Temple XIII (Roman numeral “13”) is the largest and coolest temple in the Grand Acropolis. The architecture is also unusual compared to the other temples in Calakmul. I loved walking up and around and just experiencing this temple. I left an offering on top of this temple.
According to the INAH Plaque accompanying this temple, Temple XIII is the tallest temple in the Grand Acropolis. Archaeologists detected a substructure within the temple consisting of a large ramp that the Mayan used as a platform for a 2-chambered building.
