THE OSSUARY

-

This pyramid is built in the

Puuc architectu­ral style, like the majority of the buildings located in the south of Chichen Itza. Inside, there is a cave where archaeolog­ists have uncovered graves that contained offerings of jade, shell, rock crystal and copper. For this reason, the Ossuary is often referred to as The High Priest’s Tomb.
