La Iglesia (temple of the church) at Coba
65m tall the first pyramid you encounter when visiting Coba. I was taken with the architecture of the base structures around this pyramid. It is the second tallest at Coba no climbing is permitted on this and it is beside a perfectly preserved ballcourt. probably built during AD 600-900 during the classic Maya period before the Toltec arrived. Stella 11 is under the thatched roof. Coba was developed before Chitzen Itza and had an extensive network of white roads (raised fired limestone rock) that ran out 100km to the present site of Chitzen itza. the white roads were used to travel at night.
