mostly-history:

Ball court at Copán (Honduras), located between the Acropolis and

the Great Plaza.

Macaw-head sculptures served as markers; and the façades, doorways

and jambs of the surrounding temples were ornamented with carved

figures of the rain god Chaak and other deities.  Spectators stood on

stepped platforms to watch the ball game.  There are at least 63

carved stelae and 14 altar structures at its north end.
