According to Maya legend, it was built in a single night by a magical dwarf. Standing over 35 meters (115 feet) tall, its unique rounded shape and impressive architecture make it one of the most remarkable pyramids in the Maya world. The Bird Quadrangle is a smaller residential and ceremonial complex named after the numerous bird carvings found on its façades. These decorations reflect the importance of wildlife in Maya symbolism and daily life.
The Nunnery Quadrangle is one of the finest examples of Puuc architecture in the Maya world. Its four richly decorated buildings surround a large courtyard and feature intricate stone carvings, masks of the rain god Chaac, and geometric designs.
The Ball Court was used for the ceremonial Maya ballgame, a ritual activity that combined sport, religion, and political symbolism. The game often held deep spiritual significance for the ancient Maya.

About Mérida
Mérida, capital of Yucatán, is a Spanish colonial city of grand boulevards and mansions, a base for Maya ruins, cenotes and flamingo lagoons.
Francisco de Montejo the Younger founded Mérida in 1542 on the site of a Maya town, and stone from its temples went into the cathedral and houses. The Plaza Grande is the heart of the city, with the cathedral of San Ildefonso, the Governor's Palace, whose walls are covered by murals of Maya history, and the Casa de Montejo, with an ornate carved façade. The low colonial houses of the centre gave the city its nickname, the White City.
Top-ranked sights in Mérida: Chacchoben, Merida Cathedral (Catedral de San Ildefonso), Main Square (Plaza Grande).
