Seen from the West Plaza, Temple I (in the background) and Temple II (in the foreground) face each other. The steps to the left of Temple II lead to the lower level of the platform upon which sits the North Acropolis. The limits defined by Temples I and II, on the east and west, and by the North and Central Acropolis, on the north and south, define the space known today as the Great Plaza, which seems to have been the hub of Tikal during much of the Late Classic.
