Image of Palace of the Masks

Palace of the Masks photo copyrighted by: Galen R. Frysinger

The most notable structure at Kabah is the Palace of the Masks or Codz Poop (meaning "Rolled Matting"), which has a facade covered in hundreds of stone masks of the hook-nosed rain god Chac. This massive repetition of a single set of elements is unusual in Maya art and makes for an impressive sight.
