Pigeon House

The Pigeon House, another example of Mayan architecture, was constructed for rituals and celebrations with a purpose comparable to that of the local temples.

The complex front of the structure is said to resemble a dovecote with numerous openings, hence the name. Around 900 CE saw the construction of the edifice, which was intended to track both heavenly bodies and supernatural forces.

The Pigeon House at Uxmal, which was constructed from limestone and sand during the early stages of the civilization, was primarily constructed for ceremonial functions similar to those held at the temples.

The exterior and interior walls of the Pigeon House, like many other structures, were carved, and all of the walls were painted in vibrant colors. It was also thought to have been constructed to track the movements of heavenly bodies and supernatural forces.
