After walking around the Governor’s Palace, we walked on to the Edifice Chenes.  The Edifice Chenes was actually built before the plaza upon which the Governor’s Palace sits.  This temple was built in the Chenes architectural style; hence the name Edifice Chenes.  I did not feel anything in this temple, which was strange considering my experiences with other Chenes temples like the Annex.

According to the INAH Plaque accompanying this temple, the Edifice Chenes is comprised of 6 rooms arranged along a double bay divided by transverse walls.  This temple originally had an important function, being integrated into the Great Platform of the Governor’s Palace, where the Edifice Chenes sits on a small patio.  The decoration consists of crossed legs modeled in stucco on both sides of the main entrance and huge Chaac masks in the frieze corners.  the temple dates from 731-889 A.D.
