  Coba
Coba (Cobá in the Spanish language) is a large ruined city of the Pre-Columbian Maya civilization, located in the Quintana Roo state of Mexico.
Coba is estimated to have had some 50,000 inhabitants (and possibly significantly more) at it's peak, and the built up area extends over some 80 km square.
However Coba remained an important site in the Post-Classic era and new temples were built and old ones kept in repair until at least the 14th century, possibly as late as the arrival of the Spanish.
