Xtampak, Maya archaeological site in Campeche, Mexico.

The palace structure at Xtampak contains 44 rooms distributed across three levels, connected by four external staircases and multiple corridors.

Archaeological evidence indicates that Xtampak developed into a major urban center during the Classic Maya period between 600 and 1000 CE.

The structures at Xtampak display the Chenes architectural style with geometric patterns, natural motifs, and eight carved stelae documenting significant events.

Located 137 kilometers from Campeche city, Xtampak welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM through Highway 261 and a 32-kilometer paved road.

The site preserves painted inscriptions and an emblem glyph on stone surfaces that record important dates in the Maya calendar system.
