Figure 6. Stone chancel-chapel of YDL II. Not too far from the entrance
into the sanctuary stands a stela that was erected in the nave sometime
after 1641. The photo looks southeast.
YDL I, the first and earlier church at Lamanai, was constructed sometime
between 1544 and 1550; it was built over a razed Precolumbian structure similar
to many of the temples at Tulum (Figure 5). YDL II, the second and larger
church, was probably built in the 1560s or possibly as late as the early 17 th
century (Figure 6). It had a masonry chancel-chapel—which enclosed the
sanctuary, sacristy, and probably baptistry—and a perishable nave. The church
at Tipu could have been built at any point between 1550 and the 1560s (Figure
7). It was built in stages and seems to have been used for an extended period.
