Sayil dates from 800-1000 A.C. and is
outstanding because of the elaborate Palace.
Sayil had a key ceremonial center surrounded by smaller towns, villages and
residential centers and was believed at its peak to hold a
population of ten thousand people at its core and seven thousand more in the
outlying "suburbs". The city covered approximately 5 square km and shows
the remains of stone buildings, rows of stone from homes constructed with
perishable materials, platforms and structures of all types including some
that acted as Chultuns or basins to catch rainwater.
