Edificio SurEste edificio tiene siete superposiciones que reflejan toda la historia de Teotihuacan. Los restos más antiguos son de habitaciones anteriores a la construcción del conjunto. Las siguientes etapas corresponden a basamentos piramidales superpuestos, orientados hacia el oeste, con escalinatas hacia la parte superior, en donde se ubicaban los templos.En la Subestructura 2, quedan restos de uno de estos templos y una escalinata delimitada por alfardos, decoradas con círculos concéntricos en verde y negro, sobre un fondo rojo. El cuerpo del basamento presenta un talud-tablero diferente del típico teotihuacano en sus molduras. En el tablero hay restos de pintura mural, con cruces formadas por rectángulos rojos superpuestos, delimitados por lineas negras. En las cruces aparecen tres círculos concéntricos llamados "chalchihuites" que representan gotas de agua o cosas preciosas, como piedra verde. Toda la figura forma el signo llamado "quincuncen" o "quinterno", que se asocia con los cinco tumbos del universo prehispánico: los cuatro rumbos cardinales y el centro.De la Subestructura 1 sólo quedan vestigios de algunos muros. El más reciente de los basamentos, llamado Edificio Sur, cubre completamente a todas construcciones anteriores. Su estilo arquitectónico
corresponde a las últimas fases de la ciudad: era de un solo cuerpo, con muros en talud y un templo en la parte superior.

English:The Southern Building at TeotihuacanThis building has seven superpositions which reflect the entire history of Teotihucán. The oldest remains pertain to the rooms which existed prior to the construction of the group. The following stages correspond to the superimposed pyramidal bases which face west, with steps leading to the upper part where the temples were situated.Remains of one of these temples and a stairway bounded by low balustrades, decorated with concentric circles painted green and black on a red background, are found in Substructure 2. The body of the base displays a "slope and panel" style different from the typical Teotihuacán one in its mouldings. The panel has remains of a mural painting with crosses formed by superimposed red rectangles bounded by black lines. Three concentric circles called "chalchihuites", which means drops of water or precious things, such as the green stone, appear in the crosses. The entire figure forms the sign called "quincuncen" or "quinterno", which is associated with the prehispanic directions of the universe: the four cardinal points plus the center.Only traces of a few walls remain of Substructure 1. The most recent of the bases, called South Building, completely covers all the previous constructions. Its architectual style corresponds to the last phases of the city: it had only one body with sloped walls and a temple on top.
