The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo, Vol 1 (of 2)

Note 65 — Chapter XCII

John Ingram Lockhart translation

The best-informed writers agree with Bernal Diaz as to the vast extent of this temple. It was so extensive, says Torquemada, that an arrow shot from a crossbow would not reach the length of one of its sides. A few lines lower he says, that each of these sides was three hundred and sixty feet long! The wall which surrounded this huge temple was entirely built of hewn stone. (p. 241.)
