Mul chic
Mul Chic is a small archaeological site in the Mexican state of Yucatán near Sta. Elena, 12 km east-southeast of Uxmal , the central building of which was uncovered around 1960 by the Mexican archaeologist Román Piña Chan. The site is currently not open to the public.
The most important building of Mul Chic is an early Puuc style (from 670 AD) building with only one room, which is very well preserved because it has a pyramid on its back from the time of the classic Puuc style was built over. The roof ridge made of coarse stone masonry with stucco cladding has also been completely preserved. Murals were discovered inside the building, mostly depicting war scenes. They have been left in place and are therefore hardly recognizable. Copies can be seen in museums.
