MAYAN ARCHITECTURE

STYLES

The Maya culture was partly defined by its unified architecture. Inside of this widespread vision—and through several different periods and various influences—many regional effects, with their specific characteristics, started to emerge. There is enough consistency of style and engineering to evince that the Maya were linked architecturally.
