Governor's Palace at Uxmal

The Governor’s Palace, at Uxmal, sits atop an elevated area of the complex - making it seem almost a separate neighborhood from the Pyramid of the Magician. The collated stone column, in the foreground, is thought to have been used to track the alignment of Venus, across the night sky. The ancient Mayan ruins of Uxmal (meaning “thrice-built”), is a UNESCO World Heritage Center. This city was established around 750 AD, although the various building date between 750AD and 1000AD.
