The Quiriguá site at the Izabal Banana Plantation, Guatemala is an important ancient Maya site - a sister city in to its contemporary city Copán in Honduras. It was founded by expatriates from Copán and later rose to defeat Copán by capturing and sacrificing its priest-king.
The ancient city of Quiriguá reached its peak of importance between 550 and 850 AD. Many stellae and zoomorphic sculptures are located at the ceremonial plaza. They are of great importance since they represent a zenith in the classical period of the Mayan civilization in Central America.
