Archaeological Zone of Dzibanche
In the architecture of the site, it is possible to observe the Peten style, a style that was replaced in the middle of the Classic (approx. 600 AD), by temples with facades decorated with paired pilasters, very high double-development vaults with tensioners at the ends of their narrow galleries and basements with bodies decorated with talus - board, characteristics belonging to a local style, associated with the Kaan dynasty, which was established on the site during the Early Classic. The existence of hieroglyphic texts engraved on the monuments of the staircase of the Temple of the Captives and findings of sumptuous offerings in burial chambers, denote that Dzibanché was involved in the conquest of several towns, war conquests carried out by various rulers of the Kaan family, during more than two centuries.
