Bonampak murals

Bonampak is an ancient Maya archaeological site in the Mexican state of Chiapas. The site is approximately 30 km (19 mi) south of the larger site of Yaxchilan, under which Bonampak was a dependency, and the border with Guatemala. While the site is not overly spatial or abundant in architectural size, it is well known for the murals located within the three-roomed Structure 1.

The construction of the site's structures dates to the Late Classic period.
The Bonampak murals are noteworthy for being among the best-preserved Maya murals.
