Buildings Commissioned:
By far the most famous of K'inich Kan B'alam II's buildings are the pyramid-temples of the Group of the Cross (the Temples of the Sun, Cross, and Foliated Cross). In addition, K'inich Kan B'alam II commissioned Temples XIV and XVII: the latter commemorated his status as a warrior, and the former was perhaps a memorial temple.
