A Maya site dating from the Late Pre-Classic (~200 CE) in the centre of the town of the same name. The main pyramid has a series of large stucco masks around it, unfortunately rather defaced. There is also the Palace of the Stuccoes, with marvellous stucco figures (probably zodiacal) - slightly defaced.
From its architectural style, it is believed to have been influenced by Teotihuacan.
