Columnata Sureste
Sign
Originalmente era un amplio espacio techado y soportado por bóvedas que descansaban sobre Largas filas de columnas. Este edificio, que cierra el ángulo Sureste de la Plaza, muestra claramente las modificaciones que sufrió por la construcción de múltiples paredes interiores. No se sabe si estos muros eran necesarios para contrarrestar problemas de estabilidad del edificio, o si se relacionan con po sibles cambios de fun ción de los espacios originales. Cuenta con accesos hacia el patio del Baño de Vapor y otros hacia la Plaza de las Mil Columnas.
Southeast Colonnade
Originally it was a large roofed space supported by vaults resting on long rows of columns. This building, which closes the southeast corner of the Plaza, clearly shows the modifications it underwent by the construction of multiple interior walls. It is not known if these walls were necessary to counteract problems of stability of the building, or if they are related to possible changes in the function of the original spaces. It has accesses to the courtyard of the Steam Bath and others to the Plaza of the Thousand Columns.
