Archaeological Zone near the Hotel Calakmul
It was one of the largest and most important cities in the region. It established a socio-political network of unparalleled reach.
Calakmul became the most important urban center in the Maya lowlands between 250 BCE and 700 CE. No other Maya city in what is now Mexico had its significance. It challenged and defeated Tikal, the main city in that vast region of the southern Yucatan Peninsula and northern Guatemala, only to be ultimately defeated by it in the early 8th century. After a long decline, Calakmul was abandoned, and the jungle covered its squares and enveloped its palaces, altars, and temples. The inhabitants dispersed and formed new villages or integrated into other settlements.
It was the residence of the powerful Kan dynasty, which is represented by a snake’s head.
