Malinalco is a town famous for its cultural tradition, its natural scenery and archaeological sites.
Comes from the Nahuatl Malinalco Malinalxoch of malinalli and Xochitl (flower), and means "the flower of Malinalli '.
At the foot of the entrance to the temple, we found a huge forked tongue lying east of the door. We can see the beautiful sculpture of the head of a snake-belligerent in which lie the remains of the statue of a warrior. It is impressive to enter through the opening of the mouth of the snake.
The main function of this temple was to be the site where they carried out the Initiation ceremonies for Eagle and Jaguar warriors, dominated thus sculptures of these animals, but a third figure is the fundamental important snake.
This interesting construction covered two rooms: one rectangular and the second circular. Within the first is thought that they carried out the festivities. It is believed that this ceremony was done every 260 days, “The Netonatiuhzaualiztli”, the great festival of the Sun.
In the second room were carried out fighting between warriors Eagles and Jaguars.
