Kabah

600 – 1000
City-stateNorth America

The second-largest Puuc Maya city after Uxmal, to which it was linked by an 18 km raised causeway with monumental arches; Kabah is famed for the Codz Poop ('Palace of the Masks'), its facade covered in hundreds of stone masks of the rain god Chaac.

Most of Kabah's visible architecture was built between the 7th and 11th centuries CE; a carved doorjamb suggests its apex fell around 879 CE, and one of the latest Classic-style carved dates known in the Maya lowlands, 987 CE, was found at the site.
