#SitiArcheologici Uxmal è un importante sito archeologico maya che sorprende per l'ottimo stato di conservazione. E' stata una vera emozione visitarlo. Si trova nella Penisola dello Yucatan, a 78 Km da Mérida e 170 Km da Campeche. Tra i vari siti archeologici che ho visitato è forse quello che mi ha stupita maggiormente per i molti elementi architettonici di grande pregio che denotano la maestria costruttiva di questo antico popolo. Uxmal, che nell'antica lingua maya, significa "tre volte ricostruita" fu fondata intorno al VI secolo d.C. e raggiunse il suo apogeo nel periodo classico della civiltà maya, divenendo il principale centro cerimoniale della civiltà Puuc. Molte ricchezze archeologiche restano ancora nascoste sotto la vegetazione Tra gli elementi architettonici più significativi del sito va sicuramente incluso il c.d. Quadrilatero delle Monache. Tale complesso venne denominato in questo modo dagli spagnoli poiché scambiarono l'architettura del palazzo, con la sua struttura interna suddivisa in celle, per quella corrispondente a quella che loro riconducevano ai monasteri. In realtà trattasi di un complesso di edifici con funzioni prettamente di rappresentanza. Rappresenta la struttura architettonica più maestosa ed elegante del sito ed è formata da quattro edifici con complessive 74 stanze, disposte a quadrilatero attorno ad un ampio spiazzo centrale.

Hello dear Paul!
Yeah the Mexican sky has an intense and highly variable .... :-(
the sudden changes in light have made me crazy (photographically speaking ;-)) but I have also, in some cases, given the satisfactions ;-)
I'm glad you liked this shot!
Thank you for your attention and your kindness:-P
Salutoni and good weekend!

The story itself is fascinating and when in its flow leaves these tracks really can "touch" the magnificence of the past. ;-)
