Las Monjas in Chichen Itzá
One of the more notable structures at Chichen Itza is a complex of Terminal Classic buildings constructed in the Puuc architectural style. The Spanish nicknamed this complex Las Monjas («The Nuns» or «The Nunnery») but was actually a governmental palace. Just to the east is a small temple (nicknamed La Iglesia, «The Church») decorated with elaborate masks of the rain god Chaac.
A number of other structures are near the «Monjas» complex. These include:
«The Red House»
«The House of the Deer»
