Located to the south of the major city area of the city of Amarna, the Maru-Aten is a palace or sun-temple originally thought to have been constructed for Akhenaten's queen Kiya, but on her death, her name and images were altered to that of Meritaten, his daughter.

This site is now lost beneath modern fields, but was excavated by Leonard Woolley in 1921.
