According to the hieroglyphic texts engraved on the monuments of the staircase of the Temple of the Captives, as well as the offerings found in the funerary chambers, it is noted that this site was involved in the conquest of several towns in the south of the Yucatan Peninsula.

This group consists of a series of buildings around a large square. It is distinguished by a monumental acropolis with three levels and several temples distributed with the characteristic tripartite arrangement of Early Classic architecture. It is climbed by a wide staircase that leads on the first level to a couple of temples located laterally.

To the north is the K’inich Na pyramid where two burials with rich offerings were found, including some jade objects. From its top you have an excellent panoramic view. The grove that covers the entire place gives it a spectacular effect when combined with the old structures.

Kinichná was named by Thomas Gann from a stucco element with the representation of the Kin glyph (sun or day), which is preserved on the back of the acropolis. This complex is located 2 km from Dzibanché.

The acropolis of Kinichná is complemented by a series of low buildings around a square, which possibly functioned as platforms for minor temples, or as buildings for housing purposes.
