Yet, beyond these well-documented religious structures stand a myriad of smaller, truly fascinating churches, hidden among the jungles. Erected with stones from earlier sacred ancestral sites and enlivened with rich and vibrant colors, their facades can be seen today often changing with the seasons and the whims of the local congregations. With over 350 magnificent photographs and a superbly researched 9-page gazetteer of churches, with their present-day names and site locations covering the states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo, CHURCHES OF THE MAYAS sets out to illustrate the little-known world of religious architecture of the Yucatan Peninsula beyond the sixteenth century.
