Palenque Chiapas photo copyrighted by: Galen R. Frysinger The Maya civilization site of Palenque rises from the mist in the foothills of the Chiapas mountains of southern Mexico. Palenque was the capital city of Pakal the Great [AD 603-683], one of the most powerful kings of central America in Late Classic times. The site was first occupied during the Early Classic (AD 200-600) and fell around 800 AD.
