Labna

"Old or abandoned house"
[ Location Map ]

Labna archaeological site is located 122 km from Merida by the state highway 31 in the State of Yucatan, Mexico.

Labna, once a city of some 1,500 to 2,800 people, inhabited between 750 to 1,000 AD. This site has been the focus of recent investigation and actually four of its buildings have been restored.

Labna is outstanding because of an elegant arch shaped construction which marked the limit where the priests, soldiers and nobles lived. Its facade is decorated with small columns, depictions of palm houses and stylized serpents.

Some other interesting constructions in Labna are El Mirador and the Palace, decorated with figures honoring the Chaac God and its 70 "cheltunes"  (water cisterns) that are not visible.
