Plaza A del Complejo Calle de los MuertosUbicado en el extremo norte del complejo arquitectónico, tiene una superficie total de 6980.88m2 por lo que debió albergar a una cantidad importante de personas que acudían a las ceremonias realizadas en el templo que existió sobre el basamento del extremo sur.Durante la exploración de dicho basamento en el año de 1964, se reportaron restos de pintura mural, lo que indica que el espacio debió ser decorado profusamente con
diseños y motivos relacionados con las ceremonias que se llevaban a cabo en la plaza.

English: Plaza A of the Avenue of the Dead Complex This plaza is situated on the northern end of the architectural complex, with a surface that measures 6980.88 square meters. Given its size, it presumably accommodated a considerable amount of people who attended the ceremonies carried out in the temple, which was positioned on top of the pyramidal base, located on the southern end.Remains of mural paintings were reported during the 1964 exploration of this base. This discovery suggests that the space was meticulously decorated with designs and motives associated with
the ceremonies that took place
at the plaza.Caption translation: Image: Navarrete, Dávalos. 2000. Cautivos en el Altiplano (Captive in the Highlands). FCE. México
