This picture taken from the top of the Pyramid '' El Castillo ''.
It is an awsome sight to see these Columns from up there.
The thousand Columns were build between
900 & 1200 A D and they were painted .
These Columns use to have a roof ,but it is not known for sure what type of roof it was .
With a roof over these Columns this area would have been great for large meeting halls and that's what they probably were.
