French: Cité préhispanique et parc national de Palenque
The Pre-Hispanic City and National Park of Palenque is a World Heritage site in Mexico defined by the UNESCO in 1987 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 966 (852) in our monthly survey..

"A prime example of a Mayan sanctuary of the classical period, Palenque was at its height between AD 500 and 700, when its influence extended throughout the basin of the Usumacinta River. The elegance and craftsmanship of the buildings, as well as the lightness of the sculpted reliefs with their Mayan mythological themes, attest to the creative genius of this civilization."
