History
The Pigeon-House Cluster was named for cresting whose fretwork resembles a pigeon house. At its center is a patio surrounded by palace-like buildings, of which only part of the north building remains. Its cresting consists of nine stepped triangular units with fretwork resting on a row of pillars that were once covered with painted stucco bas-reliefs representing human figures reclining on pedestals. V. Segovia investigated the astronomical functions of this building, which dates between 900 and 1000 A.D.
