View of Temple of the Sun
The Temple of the Sun, which is the best preserved temple of the Cross Group, is one of the most beautiful small temples ever erected by the Mayas. This elegantly proportioned structure is sheer perfection, making it one of the most photographed buildings at Palenque.

The spectacular view of the Temple of the Inscriptions and Palenque Palace. Built on the rising terraces and foothills of the Chiapas Mountains, we see the Temple of the Inscriptions on the left and the Palace complex in the center. The broad coastal plain stretches out in the distance beyond toward the Gulf of Mexico.
