The jungle-shrouded ruins of Palenque, Mexico, feature some of the most stunning and enigmatic temple architecture in the Mayan world. The city’s inhabitants enjoyed the cultural achievements of a race at its zenith; astronomy, fine art, sculpture, literature, mathematics, religion and sophisticated political structures were among their accomplishments. Abandoned for unknown reasons during the general collapse of Classic Mayan civilisation, Palenque was ‘rediscovered’ and reclaimed from the rainforest in the 19th century.
