Kohunlich is a large archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, located on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico.
The site is best known for its Temple of the Masks, an Early Classic pyramid whose central stairway is flanked by huge humanized stucco masks. The Temple was built around 500 A.D. and is one of the oldest structures at Kohunlich. Later, the temple was covered over which protected the masks and accounts for the marvelous state of their preservation today.
The Spanish name does not actually derive from Mayan but from the English Cohune Ridge, where cohune palm grew.
