Edzna ('House of the Itzaes') is a Maya archaeological site in Campeche, Mexico, first settled around 600-400 BC and occupied until approximately 1450 AD [1] [2] [3]. It became an influential regional capital, blending Peten, Puuc, and Chenes architectural styles [2] [3]. The city features a distinctive five-storey pyramid, elaborate hydraulic canals and reservoirs, and over 32 carved stelae documenting a partial royal lineage [2] [3] [4] [5].
