Torquoise.travel: Palenque

Palenque Mexico

Palenque is located in Chiapas and is a city renowned for the ruins of a Mayan city dating from about 600 to 800 CE and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. Its numerous inscribed stone slabs, intricate basrelief sculptures, inlaid masks and other remarkable adornments give Palenque a sense of magic and sanctity. The 75-foot-high Temple of the Inscriptions houses one of the only crypts found inside a pyramid in Mexico. Upon excavation, the Tomb of Pakal, a Mayan ruler of the 7th century, revealed a collection of jewels, masks, jade ornaments, wall carvings and other exquisite artefacts.
