Groupo de las Cruces Review

The cross here is not Jesus, but the kapok tree, because in the eyes of the Mayans, the kapok is the center of the universe and their holy tree. The largest of the three temples is the Knights Templar, which is visually several stories high and the stairs are a bit crooked. You can climb up, up to the top of the tower, and have a panoramic view of the ancient city of Palanque.

The cross temples in Palenque were a gathering place for small and medium-sized shrines, about seven or eight temples large and small, and should have been a place to sacrifice different gods at the time. Each temple has its own characteristics and is worth visiting each.

The cross temple group is a good place to climb up the temple platform, along the Asian temple-style steps, you can clearly see the opposite sun temple. It is like a cross across the starry sky, so the temple group here is called the cross temple group, which is really very image and appropriate.
