THE MESOAMERICAN CITY-STATES

Decoding the architecture of antiquity

An episode from the series LIVING STONES

Synopsis

Dominated by its pyramidal structures, this sacred city fascinates as much for its monuments as for the mystery surrounding its builders.

Its knowledge and religious beliefs spread throughout Mesoamerica, reaching as far as the Maya cities of Kabah, Labna, Sayil, and Uxmal, where the Puuc style reached its peak in the 8th and 9th centuries.
