Codz Poop ("Rolled Mat" or "Palace of Masks") is the most extraordinary façade in Maya architecture, set on the elevated platform at Kabah in the Puuc Hills of Yucatán, Mexico. Built around 850 CE during Kabah's Late Classic peak, the building's western façade is faced with more than 250 individually carved limestone masks of the rain god Chaac, each with its long curving snout intact, set in ranks across the entire wall surface. Each mask is an assembled mosaic of dozens of separately quarried limestone elements fitted together. The site was first documented in detail by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood in 1841 — Catherwood's lithographs of Codz Poop introduced the Puuc style to a European audience. Excavations by Pollock for the Carnegie Institution in the 1930s mapped the precinct.

Codz Poop is a building whose entire main wall is the same god's face, repeated 250 times.
