Hermosa construcción en forma de cabeza de flecha que se presume era un observatorio astronómico. ¡Indudablemente en aquellos tiempos se miraba más al cielo¡ :-)
Beautiful construction in the shape of an arrowhead that is presumed to be an astronomical observatory. Undoubtedly in those days it looked more to heaven! :-)

Un lugar espectacular y muy bien conservado, aunque debe ser más lindo en verano con el verdor que se ve en las postales, pues en diciembre el pasto está muy quemado.
A spectacular place and very well preserved, although it must be more beautiful in summer with the greenery that is seen on the postcards, because in December the grass is very burned.

Este edificio es el unico en toda Mesoamerica construido en la forma de punta de flecha. Contiene mas de 40 piedras grabadas con los nombres de los lugares que Monte Albán poseía bajo su control.
This building is the only one in Mesoamerica built in the shape of an arrowhead. It contains more than 40 stones engraved with the names of the places that Monte Albán owned under his control.

Spectacular ancient architecture. It looks like an ancient observatory.

Structure J often referred to as an Astronomical observatory is easily the most iconic building in Monte Alban. Its has an odd pentagonal shape and is not aligned with the rest of the buildings in the city. However one of its corners points directly north and there are a number of scholars who have hypothesized on various stellar alignments of the building's odd shape. There are vaulted passageways inside the building that are not accessible by public. An interesting and mysterious pyramid.
