In its structure, squares, houses, warehouses, workshops, streets, walls and pyramidal temples are distinguished. Its enormous walls are profusely decorated with reliefs of geometric figures, zoomorphic stylizations and mythological beings. The tour of the archaeological site is complemented by a visit to the Site Museum.
