Governor's Palace (Uxmal)
The Governor's Palace is a long palace building at the Maya city of Uxmal in Yucatán, Mexico, built on a huge artificial platform around 900–1000. About 100 metres long, its upper façade carries an intricate stone mosaic of fretwork, latticework and masks of the rain god, and it is often called the finest example of Puuc architecture. It is traditionally linked with the ruler Lord Chaak.
