In the open area in front of the actual temple, one of the figures known as Chak Mo'ol stands in the characteristic half-reclining posture. The name Chak Mo'ol goes back to the New York amateur archaeologist Augustus Le Plongeon from the second half of the 19th century, who saw it as the image of what he suspected was a Mayan prince; it has nothing to do with the rain god Chac .

The Temple of the Warriors is a 40 feet high and 133 feet wide structure. The central temple shows bas-reliefs of warriors, eagles and jaguars devouring human hearts. A representations of the god Tlalchitonatiuh and Chaac Mool can also be found in the incravings.

The Temple of the Warriors is one of the most impressive and important structures at Chichen Itza. It might be the only known late classic Maya building sufficiently big enough for really large gatherings.

The temple consists of four platforms, flanked on the south and west sides by 200 round and square columns.
