🎧 Listen to Introduction
This sacred site was one of the largest Maya centers in the Yucatan Peninsula. During its nearly 1,000-year history, different peoples left their mark on the city. The Maya and Toltec views of the world and the universe were reflected in their stone monuments and artwork. The fusion of Maya building techniques with new elements from central Mexico made Chichen Itza one of the most important examples of Maya-Toltec civilization in the Yucatan Peninsula. Several buildings have survived, such as the Temple of the Warriors, El Castillo, and the circular observatory known as El Caracol.
