It originally was a temple for worshipping the Sun God but it had an excellent security system because temples like this were used only by the King and the priests; it was like a fortress to enable its protection. It was built in about 50 years by some 20000 people working at the same time. When the Spaniards arrived, the temple was fully finished and in use.
