Description

The Central Acropolis is a complex of range-type structures that grew from the Late Preclassic until construction halted permanently in the Terminal Classic period. Most of its buildings are of the so-called palace type, probably used for daily functions of the royal court. Teobert Mahler used certain buildings adjoining this plaza as a residence during his 1895 and 1904 excavations at Tikal ('Mahlers Palace'), which may have influenced Alfred Tozzer to later theorize that these buildings originally had a residential function.
