At Edzna there are two large group of structures: The "Gran Acropolis" (with a five-story pyramid, over 38 m.) and the "Pequeña Acropolis". Between 1958 and 1962, Edzna had been partially restored by Raul Pavón Abreu. Ray T. Matheny, between 1971-1974, recognized the monumental hydraulic system that had been built to serve Edzna, over 20 km. of canals and reservoirs. Matheny said. ''"the orientation of the converging canals has some long-forgotten symbolic meaning that may be linked with celestial observation or some cosmological concept".''
