Lonely Planet review for Edificio de los Cinco Pisos
Across the plaza is the Gran Acrópolis, a raised platform holding several structures, including Edzná's major temple, the 31m-high Edificio de los Cinco Pisos. The current structure is the last of four remodels and was done primarily in the Puuc style. It rises five levels from its base to the roofcomb and contains many vaulted rooms. A great central staircase of 65 steps, some with well-preserved glyphs along their bases, goes right to the top.
Climbers are rewarded with sweeping views of the whole complex and surrounding jungle canopy.
