Sculptures of kings, gods, jaguars, and other figures lined the walls, which reflects Maya's religious beliefs.

The Mayan Architecture, which tended to be pyramids and other types of temples, was mainly built by stone with wooden platforms.

In these buldings, the Mayans portrayed battles, wars, dynastic successions and their beliefs. Thanks to this, we are able to see through palaces, pyramids and other buildings scultpures of jaguars, kings, gods and many other figures that reflect the Mayans religious beliefs.
