G	Gerardo Alonso Robledo Reynoso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ El edificio es soprendente, es curioso en su interior por lo que nos relatan, y está llena de misterios como toda la zona, nunca sabremos con certeza cuáles eran las funciones exactas de muchos lugares arqueológicos. Es una lástima que no se pueda subir a este lugar. The building is surprising, it is curious inside for what they tell us, and is full of mysteries as the whole area, we will never know with certainty what were the exact functions of many archaeological sites. It's a shame that you can not climb this place.

C	Crecia Blum on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A scary place with the carved skull, makes you think about what Palenque would have actually been like when it was a city...you can no longer climb the temple or get close to the skull, but it's big enough that you can spot it from ground level.
