Mayan cities were created by the ancient Maya civilization, a Mesoamerican civilization that flourished in the region of present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. The Mayans were skilled architects, engineers, and city planners who built impressive cities with grand temple complexes, pyramids, palaces, ball courts, and other structures. These cities were the result of the collaborative efforts of Mayan rulers, priests, architects, laborers, and craftsmen who worked together to design and construct these sophisticated urban centers.
