Kabah

Draft page - only pictures added

In Kabah the most extraordinary structure is the Codz Pop, the Palace of the Masks, which is decorated with no less than 260 masks of the rain god with his curled nose projecting in an endless prayer for rain. It also has its arch, this one freestanding as a ceremonial entrance at the end of the causeway from Uxmal. At five metres wide it must be one of the widest spaces spanned by the Mayan corbelled arch.
