2. A palace-type structure of the Mayan ceremonial center of Sayil, Yucatan, Alexico. 

 This handsome building, now largely in ruins, was built of rubble faced with cut lime- 

 stone blocks and mortar. It is estimated to have contained about 100 rooms. It was 

 probably constructed, at least in its final phases, between A.D. 600 and 900.
