0269 Monte Alban – Main Plaza & The Observatory

Monte Alban’s main plaza looking north, with the Observatory, Building J, centre shot

This is the spectacular view of the main plaza when standing on the southern complex and looking north. The observatory, building J, is directly in front of us (see “Monte Alban – Ancient Observatory” and “Monte Alban – The Conquest Slabs?” for more information). © Robin Heyworth, 27th December 2001
