A Mayan temple is a structure used by the Maya civilization of Central America for religious, ceremonial, and political purposes. The Maya built many different types of temples, including pyramids, palaces, and observatories, which were often adorned with elaborate carvings, sculptures, and paintings. These structures were used for a variety of purposes, including as places of worship, for astronomical observations, and as the seats of political power. Mayan temples were typically constructed from stone and were often decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures depicting gods, animals, and other symbols important to Maya religion and culture.
