| Lubaantun in Yucatec Maya, is located about one mile from the San Pedro Columbia village in the Toledo district. A Late Classic site, Lubaantun was a major center of religious, ceremonial, political and commercial activity during the eighth and ninth centuries AD (AD730 – 860). It was a farming community that traded with communities located in today`s Guatemala. Lubaantun has eighteen plazas and three ball courts, and its architecture is characterized by vertical, narrow or broad stepped facing, and no corbelled vaulting (Maya arches). The tallest structure rises 50 feet above the plaza. Buildings were constructed by layering stone blocks, carved and fitted perfectly together, without the use of mortar. Most of the main buildings have rounded corners. |
