Ixtonton, Maya archaeological site in Dolores, Guatemala.
The archaeological remains spread across six square kilometers in the northwestern section of the Maya Mountains, featuring two main plazas on modified hills.
The settlement functioned as a capital of one of four Maya kingdoms in the upper Mopan Valley from 400 BC through 900 AD.
The site contains two ballcourts oriented north-south and an E-Group astronomical complex, indicating advanced understanding of celestial observations and sporting traditions.
The archaeological park lies 2 kilometers east of Dolores town and requires coordination with local authorities for access to the protected structures.
A 550-meter-long North Causeway connects architectural groups across the terrain, representing the longest pathway system in the central Dolores plateau.
