Northwest House (Casa Noroeste)

The northwest house was possibly a private residence for someone important because it is located inside the wall and has a large stone platform; such a location was accessible only to the wealthy and elite. There were also graves here, with bones found inside them. It is situated in the northern part of the former main street of Tulum. The building is rectangular in shape, with a porch and a portico consisting of two columns forming three entrances. The columns supported the second floor with a private sanctuary.
