Uxmal is a typical Mayan site built
in the style of Puuc, which is
evident in the front roof crests,
columns, vertical friezes, and
mosaic forming masks.

The House of Birds & Quadrant
walls of the Nunnery are splendid
examples of the intricate carvings
surrounding Uxmal's principle
buildings. Carvings depicting the
gods Sun & Rain are evident in
the Masks found in the Quadrant
of the Nunnery, and the Two
Headed Jaguar in the centre.

The ball court ( pok ta pok ) at
Uxmal is similar to the one
located at Coba, and various
types of ball game are found in all
Mayan sites. Although games
where deemed a social and
entertaining aspect of Mayan
history , some where played as
sacrificial rituals.
