Kabáh

Kabah is a Maya archaeological site in the south-east of the Mexican state of Yucatán, closed to Uxmal. It's the second largest ruin of the Puuc region after Uxmal.  

The area was inhabited by the mid 3rd century BC. Most of the architecture now visible was built between the 7th century and the 11th century. A sculpted date on a doorjamb of one of the buildings gives the date 879, probably around the city's height. Another inscribed date is one of the latest carved in the Maya Classic style, in 987.  

The most famous structure at Kabah is the "Palace of the Masks", the facade decorated with hundreds of stone masks of the long-nosed rain god Chaac.
