Department Petén, Guatemala Central Acropolis Late Preclassic (400 BC-200 AD)-Late Classic (600-900) 350 BC-950 AD |
Comments: Central Acropolis is located on the southern side of the Great Plaza. Long houses on layered terraces with rooms on all sides, covered with false vaults, form intimate courtyards. Central Acropolis was probably the main residence of the ruling dynasty and nobility. |
