The Coba Group

Between Cobá and Macanxoc lakes stands the largest concentration of buildings in all of Cobá, comprising 43 structures, various courtyards, vaulted rooms, a grand plaza, a ball court, and several stelae. Six sacbeoob branch out from this group. The building known as the Church (Iglesia) has nine round-cornered bodies and reaches a height of 24 meters. It has various construction stages, each built upon the preceding one. Construction began in the Early Classic period (300-600 A.D.), and the last modification was made during the Post-Classic period (1000-1450 A.D.). At the foot of the Church stands Stele 11 with a circular altar. The ball court is of the open kind and consists of two parallel buildings.
