Labna

Labna is a Maya archaeological site in the Puuc Hills of Yucatan, Mexico, built between 600-900 AD in the Classic period. At its 9th-century peak, about 3,000 people inhabited the site. Its palace, El Palacio, stretches approximately 120 metres and is one of the longest contiguous structures in the Puuc region. The Labna Arch is considered the most elaborately designed arch in the Maya area, featuring pure Puuc-style colonnettes, mosaic designs, and masks of rain god Chaac. First documented by Stephens and Catherwood in 1842, Labna was inscribed with Uxmal as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
