The site is a comparatively small and compact one. Among its notable structures is a large two-storey 'palace' (''"El Palacio"''), which is one of the longest contiguous structures in the [[Puuc]] region at approximately 120&nbsp;m (393.7&nbsp;ft) in length. From the palace, a ceremonial road (''[[sacbe]]'') extends to an elaborately decorated gateway arch (''"El Arco"''). This structure is 3&nbsp;m (9.8&nbsp;ft) wide and 6 m high, with well-reserved [[bas-relief]]s. The arch is not an entrance to the city, but rather is a passageway between public areas.<ref name="Labna :: The Mayan Kingdom">[https://web.archive.org/web/20090201100211/http://mayans.particlebook.com/#/get/page_id/62/Labna/ Labná :: The Mayan Kingdom]</ref> Next to this gateway stands ''"El Mirador"'', a [[Mesoamerican pyramid|pyramid-like]] structure surmounted by a temple. A part of the same site is the Temple of the Columns.

The structural design and motifs of the site's buildings are in the [[Maya architecture]] regional style known as ''[[Puuc]]''. This makes extensive use of well-cut stone forming patterns and depictions, including masks of the long-nosed rain-god [[Chaac]].

The site was built in the [[Mesoamerican chronology|Late and Terminal Classic era]]. A date corresponding to AD 862 is inscribed in the palace.

The site is open to visitors.
