Tajin
The city of the Tajín is delimited by two slopes and two streams. The diverse elevations of the land were altered by their creators, who constructed embankments to different levels.
The 162 buildings that formerly were part of the esplendorosa city of the Tajín are organized in groups, that form seats and sets. Within the city also were 17 buildings dedicated to the ball game; it is the greater amount of buildings with this aim that has been in the vestiges of Mesoamérica.
The constructions of the Tajín are erected on quadrangular platforms or rhomboids. Its architecture is based on niches, lambda-type frisos of, flown cornices and false arcs.
In general, the buildings of the Tajín respond to a classification in five unevennesses:
1. The Seat of Stream
2. Central Zone
3. Great Greca or Xicalcoliuhqui
4. Small Tajín
5. the Complex of the Columns |
