Sayil Palace

The Sayil Palace, a three-story structure in the Yucatan, is one of the earliest examples of Maya architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stories of the palace have been constructed one on top of the other. The construction of these structures differs from others in that they were arranged in a side arrangement.


The building was constructed in the distinctive Puuc architectural style using concrete and stones. El Mirador, a nearby structure, is used as an observatory.


The whole area is organized along a causeway, or sacbe, that runs from north to south. The largest and most well-known structure is the Great Sayil Palace, which is located at the northern end.
