Temple V is a large multi-level temple platform on the west side of the Great Acropolis. Within its southern side are the remains of part of the double stairway which led to the upper temple. This construction served as a shrine as well as a funerary place for elite members of Comalcalco. During the excavations, archaeologists recovered bones of several birds, such as pelicans, ducks and herons, along with fragments of stuccoed figures.
