The hundreds of pillars and columns in the Group of a Thousand Columns once formed a huge covered quadrilateral area used for both administrative and residential purposes. To the left, a beautiful frieze of jaguars from the Templo de las Mesas (Temple of Tablets) has been reconstructed. The Templo de los Guerreros (Temple of Warriors) is thought to have been reserved for royal audiences, hence the large number of stone columns carved with images of warriors on the façade.
