Bonampak (which means in Maya language “Painted Walls”) is an ancient city on the basin of the Usumacinta River. It is worldwide known by its murals which are the ones that offer more details of the life in the Maya Court.
The archeological site consists on several buildings surrounding the main square. Some of the buildings have well carved steles, but the most famous one is the Temple of the Murals where there are three rooms with paintings dating 790. They were made using a complex technique called ìfreshî (it was used in the decoration of the Sistine Chapel).
The murals were recently restored so the brightness of colors is admirable. Pictures can be taken but without flash.
