La Corona
La Corona is an ancient Maya city in Guatemala's Petén department that was discovered in 1996 and later revealed to be the long-sought "Site Q", a prominent, undiscovered Maya city. "La Corona" means "the crown" in Spanish; the first archaeologists to study the site named it this after seeing a row of five temples that resembled a crown.
