Edzná

600 BC – 1500
City-stateNorth America

A major Maya city in the Campeche lowlands, Edzná ('House of the Itzaes') is known for its elevated Temple of Five Storeys and an extensive canal and reservoir system for water management; during the Late Classic it fell within Calakmul's political orbit.

Edzná was settled as early as 600 BCE, developed into a major city by around 200 CE, and continued to be occupied — with periods of decline and revival — until its abandonment around 1500 CE, on the eve of Spanish contact.
