Nunnery Quadrangle
The Nunnery Quadrangle is a group of four long buildings around a courtyard at the Maya city of Uxmal in Yucatán, Mexico, built around 900. Spanish visitors gave it its name, imagining a convent, though its purpose may have been residential or administrative. Its upper façades bear elaborate Puuc stone mosaics of latticework, feathered serpents, masks and miniature huts.
