Pusilha

Pusilhá was a Maya city in the forested south of Belize, near rivers flowing toward the Caribbean. Its plazas, ballcourts and carved stelae preserve evidence of a ruling dynasty in the Late Classic period. Inscriptions record events over two centuries and connect the city with the wider political world of the Maya lowlands. The carved monuments and elaborate buildings of its center stand among the remains of a once much larger landscape of settlements.
