The Arch at Labná in the Puuc Hills of Yucatán, Mexico, is the most refined surviving Maya corbel arch — a freestanding ceremonial gateway built around 850 CE during the Puuc Late Classic. The arch spans 3 metres at the apex, set within a rectangular façade decorated with the chequerboard latticework, columned mosaics, and stylized thatched-hut imagery characteristic of Puuc architectural ornament. Two small chambers flank the arch on either side. The structure originally formed the entrance to a lost ceremonial sacbé connecting Labná to neighboring Sayil and Xlapak. The site was documented in detail by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood in 1842 — Catherwood's drawing of the Arch became one of the most reproduced images of Maya architecture in nineteenth-century Europe.
The Arch is a freestanding gateway with no wall on either side anymore, framing the same patch of jungle it has framed for over a millennium.
