The pyramid of Acanceh is located in the north side of the modern town. It is a three-level stepped pyramid, reaching a height of 36 feet. It was decorated with eight giant stucco masks, each measuring about 10 by 12 feet. These masks reveal strong similarities with other Maya sites such as Uaxactun, and Cival, in Peten, Guatemala, and Cerros, in Belize.
The face portrayed on these masks has the characteristics of the sun god, known by the Maya as Kinich Ahau.
