So named after the Puuc hills in which this style developed and flourished during the latter portion of the [[Mesoamerican chronology|Late Classic]] and throughout the [[Mesoamerican chronology|Terminal Classic]] in the northern Maya lowlands, [[Puuc|Puuc architecture]] consists of veneer facing stones applied to a concrete core. Two [[façade|façades]] were typically built, partitioned by a ridge of stone. The blank lower façade is formed by flat cut stones and punctuated by doorways. The upper partition is richly decorated with repeating geometric patterns and iconographic elements, especially the distinctive curved-nosed [[Chaac]] masks. Carved columnettes are also common.
