Acanceh, Pre-Columbian Maya archaeological site in Yucatan, Mexico
The excavation site covers 4 square kilometers with 400 ancient buildings, including a step pyramid and the Palace of Stuccos near Merida.
The Maya settlement, founded between 300 and 500 CE by the Itzaes, maintained continuous occupation until the construction of the modern town.
The architectural features display Teotihuacan influences through carved masks and detailed stone carvings in the Palace of Stuccos structure.
The archaeological zone, located 21 kilometers from Merida, contains three restored buildings accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The three-level pyramid measures 11 meters tall and contains multiple stone masks of Maya deities hidden within its older construction layers.
