Cobá Archaeological Site Mexico

The Grupo Cobá (Cobá Group) is the complex of structures closest to the entrance. It includes a ball court, the temple known as La Iglesia, Stela 11, and a masonry tunnel.

Part of the Cobá Group, this Mayan ball court is unusual for having a playing alley with only a vestigial bench and reliefs depicting prisoners set into the sloping walls. Two original stone rings survive in their original position.

La Iglesia at Cobá is a Mayan pyramid with nine tiers and a divided stairway, facing west across a raised forecourt to the main plaza of the Cobá Group. It dates from the Late Classic period, with a small Postclassic temple on top.
