Uxmal is a large pre-Columbian ruined city of the in the state of Yucatán, Mexico. It is 78 km south of Mérida, Yucatán, or 110 km from that city on Highway 261 towards Campeche, Campeche), 15 km south-southeast of the town of Muna. Uxmal is pronounced “Oosh-mahl”. The place name is Pre-Columbian and it is usually assumed to be an archaic Maya language phrase meaning “Built Three Times”, although some scholars of the Maya language dispute this derivation. . Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom visited on 27 February 1975 for the inauguration of the site’s sound & light show; when the presentation reached the point where the sound system played the Maya prayer to Chaac, a sudden torrential downpour fell upon the gathered dignitaries, despite the fact that it was the middle of the dry season. Two hotels and a small museum have been built within the remains of the ancient city.
