Labcáh

Labcáh, a Maya name meaning “old village,” lay in the northeastern Yucatán Peninsula. Local accounts identify it with the place later called Solferino and place it within the Maya jurisdiction of Ekab. At the time of Spanish arrival, Ekab included settlements connected to the coast and its maritime routes. Low forest and flat limestone country surround Labcáh, inland from the shallow waters off the peninsula's northern shore.
