Most of the elaborate carvings, relief and full-round, and the paintings, mural and ceramic, which are the hallmarks of Classic Maya art, come from the civic centers. These civic centers were numerous, including Copán in Honduras, El Mirador, Piedras Negras , Tikal , and Uaxactún in the N central Petén region of Guatemala, and Palenque and Uxmal in Mexico.
