Chichen Itza Ruins

Chichen Itza is situated in the northern part of Yucatan, near the town of Piste

This impressive pyramid symbolizes the majesty of the Mayan civilization and is also known as El Castillo.

It measures around 6.5 square km and is an iconic landmark that attracts millions of visitors every year.

El Castillo, the pyramid that stands tall and proud in the heart of the Mayan civilization, has been an iconic landmark for centuries. Its impressive size and intricate design symbolize the majesty and ingenuity of the Mayan people.

It was founded in approximately 600 AD by the Maya people, and over time, it became a significant center of politics and economics in the region. One of the most impressive structures at Chichen Itza is El Castillo, which is also known as the Temple of Kukulcan.

This pyramid-like structure is famous for its incredible architecture and its alignment with the equinoxes. The ball court at Chichen Itza is also noteworthy, as it is the largest and best-preserved of its kind in the Americas. It was used for the Mesoamerican ballgame, which had religious and political importance in Mayan culture.

Chichen Itza's decline started in the 11th century and continued until the 15th century, leading to its ultimate abandonment. The reasons for this decline are not fully understood, but it is believed that a combination of political instability, environmental factors, and warfare contributed to its downfall. Despite its decline, the site remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fascinating place to visit and explore.

Kukulcan Temple

El Castillo, the pyramid at Chichen Itza, is particularly noteworthy for its impressive design and historical significance. The pyramid has four sides, each with 91 steps, which adds up to a total of 364 steps.

The top platform serves as the 365th step, representing the days in a calendar year. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, the sun creates a stunning visual effect on the pyramid. A shadow resembling a serpent slithers down the side of the pyramid, connecting with a carved serpent head at the base.

The pyramid itself was built using a technique called "talud-tablero," which involves creating a sloped platform (talud) with vertical panels (tablero) on top. It was built in the 11th century but was only rediscovered by the outside world when the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the 16th century. In 2007, El Castillo was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, cementing its place in history as an architectural masterpiece.
