Brief Description：
This sacred site was one of the greatest Mayan centres of the Yucat?n peninsula. Throughout its nearly 1,000-year history, different peoples have left their mark on the city. The Maya, Toltec and Iztec vision of the world and the universe is revealed in their stone monuments and artistic works. The fusion of Mayan construction techniques with new elements from central Mexico make Chichen-Itza one of the most important examples of the Mayan-Toltec civilization in Yucat?n. Several buildings have survived, such as the Warriors' Temple, El Castillo and the circular observatory known as El Caracol.
