Nohmul

Nohmul was a Maya city in the lowlands of northern Belize, where large earthworks and public buildings rose above the surrounding settlements. Its history included periods of growth separated by centuries of reduced activity. Population and construction reached important peaks in the late Preclassic and again around the end of the Classic period and beginning of the Postclassic. The city’s changing fortunes show the varied histories of communities across the Maya lowlands.

The later city of Orange Walk Town lies nearby.
