Culuba, Archaeological site in northeast Yucatán, Mexico.

The central palace structure measures 55 meters in length, 15 meters in width, and contains six separate rooms with vaulted ceilings.

The archaeological complex flourished between 600 and 1050 CE, displaying architectural influences from both Uxmal and Chichen Itza building traditions.

Groups A and B feature plazas surrounded by structures adorned with Chaac masks, stone mosaics, and decorative elements in the Puuc architectural style.

The archaeological site spreads across 234 hectares and requires local guides for visits, with entrance through an unpaved road near Rancho Manuel.

Three monumental architectural groups contain residential structures built around rejolladas, natural sinkholes that provided water for cacao cultivation.
