Westernmost major Mayan settlement. Pyramids and temple structures grouped around plazas. Major buildings were made from fired clay brick and oyster shell mortar, as opposed to the more typical material of quarried limestone.
Location given is for the ancient town site. There is a museum at the entrance.
Note: Mayan glyphs detail priest's life, blood sacrifices.
