These paintings were commonly found on the houses of nobles. Mayan cities were known for their great, notable architecture. The structures found in each city included palaces, plazas, ball courts, and pyramids with temples at their tops. There were also commonly large stone monuments called steles that had important dates and events carved into them in the Maya's glyphic written language.
