Tonina is an artificial hill of 7 platforms almost 70 meters high, with numerous palaces, temples and altars, where was created a unique caste of warrior princes that, between the sixth and tenth centuries, exercised its military power over all the cities of the Usumacinta river basin, including Palenque, Yaxchilán and Bonampak. Tonina's sculptures have a very realistic stamp and delicate features, unlike other Mayan sites in the region. The heart of this place is based on a 6 hectare platform, surrounded by a great architectural barrier, where temples, altars and ball courts were built. At 16 meters long and 3.30 meters high, made of stucco and polychrome, there is a mural that is an unparalleled work in pre-Hispanic art.
