Edzna lies 37 miles from the city of Campeche. The impressive Building of the
Five Levels is the dominant structure here, and it is also possible to observe
evidence of the system of aqueducts and ancient stone tanks used to store water.
Not much remains of the site at Dzibilchaltun but it is nonetheless an important
site due to its continuous occupation throughout time. The Temple of the Seven
Dolls is a unique structure, with its truncated tower and windows. Stucco masks
once adorned the corners of the upper walls and doorways of this temple and
partial remains are still visible. |
