Castillo (German about: the castle) is the tallest building in Tulum. The Spaniard Juan Díaz 1518 for this tower was the largest he had ever seen. The upper building has two arched rooms, whose three inputs are supported by a snake-shaped columns. Its no longer extant snake heads were resting on the floor.

Neben dem Schloss liegt der „Tempel des Herabsteigenden Gottes“ bzw. „Templo del Dios Descendente“. Seinen Namen erhielt er von der im Dachfries enthaltenen Figur des herabsteigenden Gottes. Diese in Tulum mehrfach (beispielsweise im Schloss) abgebildete Gottheit wurde mit dem Sonnenuntergang, dem Regen, dem Blitz und der Bienenzucht in Verbindung gebracht und hieß auf Mayathan Ah Mucen Cab (Bienengott).
Der „Freskentempel“, auch Tempel der Friese (spanisch Templo de las Pinturas), erhielt seinen Namen aufgrund der zahlreichen Wandmalereien von Schlangen, Fischen, Eidechsen und anderen Meerestieren, welche jeweils Gottheiten einrahmen. Vermutlich diente der Tempel der Anbetung von Deities, who were related to soil fertility.
