Description
The ancient jungle civilization of Palenque in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, is considered by many to be an incomparable achievement of Mayan art. In its heyday, Palenque was a sprawling religious center that spanned nearly 25 square miles. Only roughly half a mile has been excavated, revealing what many consider to be the architectural apogee of western Mayan civilization.
