The Castle was Tulum’s most imposing building and also its most important. More than 500 years ago, its façade was brightly painted and decorated with sculptures, and its corners had large stucco masks, traces of which still remain. At ground level, on both sides of the stairs, two small temples contained inner altars where offerings were left, filling the space with smells and colors. In the upper temple, the principal religious ceremonies were held.
