The Governor's Palace holds much meaning and significance to the site. It has the longest standing facade and is the origin of transition for many governmental and religious ceremonies in Uxmal. The construction is anchored into the topography through man made structures that are a result of the habitual landscape. The Palace is also a threshold into time passed as it has been built upon structurally and figuratively through the years. The hierarchical elements within the construct allow for occupation beyond the threshold and moments which could only be experienced through occupation rather than observation. Its facade illustrates a series of levels and orders which ornament the roof and provide a grid for what is significant.
