Maya for “In Front of the Wall”, this site, many experts believe, supported a population of 12,000 Mayans. This Palace is considered the largest and finest Chenes style palace in existence. In 1843, John Lloyd Stephens described the Palace as “the grandest structure that now rears its ruined head in the forests of the Yucatan.” Stephens was the first to report the site in 1943 and Maler visited in 1891 and reported on the site in 1902.
