The Governor’s Palace at Uxmal is part of a monumental Mayan complex on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Built in the 8th or 9th century ad, this long, horizontal building shows a characteristic feature of the region’s architectural style—a simple lower wall and a richly decorated upper one. The Uxmal complex was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
