Summary

Edificios de las antiguas ruinas de Uxmal, México.
El edificio rectangular al frente es la construcción al sur del Cuadrángulo de las Monjas, mostrando las características de la arquitectura maya Puuc: mosaicos detallados en piedra y la prominencia de Chaac, dios maya del agua y la lluvia. Tres grandes mascarones de Chaac pueden ser vistos sobre la puerta de la derecha.
Sobre el edificio puede apreciarse la parte superior de la Pirámide del Adivino, la cual es una pirámide maya muy peculiar debido a su inusual base ovalada. Se distinguen dos puertas en la pirámide, la inferior decorada con trabajo en piedra y motivos basados en Chaac, mientras que la superior muestra ejemplos de decoración Puuc.
En la puerta izquierda se alcanza a distinguir una bocina, usada para el espectáculo de luz y sonido nocturno.

Summary

Ancient buildings from the ruined city of Uxmal, Mexico.
The short building at the front is the southern construction of the Nunnery Quadrangle and displays the characteristcs of Puuc mayan architecture of the period: the detailed stone mosaic work and the relevance of Chaac, mayan god of water and rain. 3 large masks of the god are seen above the rightmost door.
Above the building, it can be seen the top of the Adivino (magician) pyramid that lies behind, it being one of the rarest mayan pyramids due its base being oval instead of rectangular. On the pyramid 2 doors can be seen, the lower being profusely decorated with stone work and Chaac motives while the upper one shows more examples of Puuc architecture around it.
On the leftmost door , some speakers are visible, they are used for the light and sound show at nights (see also Image:Uxmal-light-n-sound.jpg). Drini 06:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Le bâtiment du devant est le Quadrilatère des Nonnes et présente les caractéristiques du style Maya de la période Puuc: La mosaïque de pierres et l'importance de Chac, dieu des eaux etdes pluies. On peut voir trois grands masques du dieu au dessus de la porte de droite.

Au dessus de la porte de gauche, on voit des hauts parleurs utilisés pour des spectacles son et lumière.
