Calakmul played a key role for more than twelve centuries. The  stelas are outstanding examples of mayan art. The site contains several stone buildings occupying an area of 44 square miles and has more than 6,000 structures. This seems to suggest that Calakmul used to be the largest Mayan city of its time, bigger than its rival [[Tikal]].  The structures are pyramids, temples and adoratorios, a ball game, palaces and house-room built with figured stones. The architectural characteristics of the constructions correspond to the classic period. Some stelas at Calakmul are over 6 feet tall and are completely carved (Hieroglyphic).
