Palenque, during its period of splendor, during the so-called Mayan Classic period (250 AD-900 AD) dominated much of the territory and was one of the driving cities of this great civilization. It is one of the most beautiful Mayan precincts at the architectural level because its governors, above all Pakal and the son who succeeded him, Kan Balam, raised a city full of beauty and careful details throughout their fruitful reigns. Here are several figures, censers, inscriptions … and, of course, the tomb of Pakal, located in the very heart of the Temple of Inscriptions … in fact, this temple comes to be like a mausoleum, it is not the only tomb There are.
