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.
