Yagul - Palace of the Six Patios

(Local Name: Palacio de los Seis Patios) The last row of buildings is known as the Palace of the Six Patios (Palacio de los Seis Patios); here Zapotec buildings were also built over by the Mixtecs. In this sprawling labyrinth, which possibly served as living quarters for the elite, the rooms have between one and three entrances, leading to the patios. In a long narrow passageway, stone mosaic patterns in the style characteristic of Mitla can be seen.
