Half buried under the Palace of the Quetzal butterfly are the ruins of two older buildings, The Palacio de los Jaguares and the Templo de los Caracoles Emplumados. The Palace of the Jaguars has recognisable murals of the revered big cats blowing horns, and wearing traditional headdresses, overlooked by Tlaloc. The Temple of the Plumed Shells was painted with feathers, shells and bright green parrots.
