Chicanná was a Maya town from the Classic period. The name means "House of the Serpent Mouth" in the Mayan language. The site is located just two kilometers west of Becan in the Mexican state of Campeche on the Yucatán peninsula. Chicanná was inhabited from 300 to 1100. There is evidence that Chicanná may have been dependent on Becán for much of its existence. Chicanná is one of the most striking examples in the region of the mixing of architectural styles.
