Pomoná, Maya archaeological site in Tenosique, Mexico.

The site contains six complexes with a northern area featuring a quadrangular plaza surrounded by thirteen structures and detailed relief sculptures.

During the Late Classic period, Pomona experienced conflicts with neighboring cities, including a notable attack from Piedras Negras in 792 CE.

Relief panels at the site display young princes wearing aquatic attributes of the Bacabs while holding Year Bearer days, reflecting Maya ceremonial practices.

The archaeological site requires walking shoes for exploring the uneven terrain, and visitors should bring water due to the tropical climate.

Texts discovered at Pomona contain references dating back to 297 CE, establishing it among the earliest documented Maya settlements in the region.
