On the southeast corner of the palace is a sunken court or patio. Its surface was once covered by a stucco floor, which is today only partially preserved. On its northeast corner stands a small construction, probably an altar used for domestic ritual ceremonies. The patio connects the residential sector of the palace, on the north, with the southern sector where stands Temple IV.
