The temple features all of the traits of traditional Mayan temple construction: pyramidal, heavily terraced substructure, a stair spanning the pyramid from top to bottom, a building platform on which the building itself rests, a building whose exterior comprises two parts: one higher and narrower portion, to the rear, and a high roof comb set to the rear of the building.
