Ichpich
Ichpich is a small Mayan ruin site in Mexico . It is located on the Yucatán peninsula in the state of Campeche , around 32 kilometers south of Xul and around 10 kilometers northeast of Santa Rosa Xtampak (but cannot be reached from there). The first description of Ichpich and photographs come from Teobert Maler , who stayed at this location in March 1887. Small repairs were carried out around 1985. The only modern description was written by George F. Andrews. The site is not officially open to tourism.
Building I.
The building is oriented to the southeast. It has four rooms, three of which are in a row and the fourth room is in front of the middle one. The stylistic features indicate a combination of the Chenes style and the Puuc style . The hallmarks of Chenes include details in the interior and the large stone pegs protruding from the upper wall part of the facade, which were supposed to hold stucco decorations, as well as the arrangement of the pillars in the middle and upper cornice in groups of three, separated by smooth surfaces.
Building III
The building has three rooms in a row. It is located about 200 m west of Building I. This building also combines the style features of Chenes and Puuc. In the middle and upper cornice there are inclined saw stones, as they are often found in the Puuc style.
