Throughout that area they erected their homes and buildings for worshipping their gods, as well as public buildings which were the hub of the community’s social and economic life. The site's most important architectural complex is made up of a number of plazas ringed by large palaces and platforms from which temples arose. The most notable of these plazas are those corresponding to Temples 1 & 2, as well as the Small Acropolis, that of the so called ‘Unknown Building’ and that of the Set in ‘C’ A Ball Court, somewhat removed from the main block of structures completes the list of buildings.

Note: Dzibanché discoveries redifine the "Maya Collapse", showing lowland cities were not completely abandoned
