The tomb of the red queen is a burial chamber containing the remains of a noble woman and as such it is an imposing beautiful structure.

Beautiful location and a total delight to visit. One of many ancient sites to visit in Mexico.

The ruins of Palenque, nestled in the rainforest, are the archaeological highlight in Chiapas. The Mayan architects created fantastic temples, such as the "Templo de las Inscripciones" (Temple of the Inscriptions) with a burial chamber that is no longer accessible today. The palace is just as impressive with its many chambers, inner courtyards and corridors and the stone tower, which was unusual for the Maya. Palenque, the sublime ruined city of the Maya culture, lies on a high plateau at the foot of a chain of hills, surrounded by tropical, evergreen rainforest. Dozens of buildings, pyramids and temples are scattered across the clearing and hidden deep in the Chiapas jungle. Of all the Mayan cities, Palenque is certainly one of the most beautiful and fascinating, a splendid testament to Mayan art. Palenque existed as early as 300 BC, but only experienced its heyday between 600 and 800 AD, as the religious and political center of the entire region. The architecture of the temple city is characterized by a high degree of perfection. The mighty building structures have been repeatedly renewed and enlarged over the decades. The stonemasons of the Mayas created masterfully designed reliefs and highly elaborated sculptures. https://www.planet-mexico.com/chiapas/palenque/
