Chichen Itza - This sacred site was one of the most significant Mayan centers on the Yucatán peninsula. Over its nearly 1,000-year history, various cultures have left their mark on the city. The Maya and Toltec perspectives on the world and universe are evident in their stone monuments and artistic creations. The blend of Mayan construction techniques with new elements from central Mexico makes Chichen-Itza a key example of Mayan-Toltec civilization in Yucatán. Several structures have endured, including the Warriors’ Temple, El Castillo, and the circular observatory known as El Caracol.

Temple of the Warriors - Resembling an elaborate wedding cake, the Temple of Warriors has three thick tiers at the base with a small temple on top. It also features around 200 columns, each adorned with carvings of Toltec warriors in various scenes.

Red House - Also known as the House of Little Holes due to the latticework on the top that resembles small holes. The Mayan name for the building is Chichanchob, which possibly means ‘small holes’.

-
Las Monjas - The Nunnery, or Las Monjas, is one of the largest buildings in Chichen Itza. It is also one of the most archaeologically significant, due to the vast number of texts inscribed on the walls, many of which mention a ruler named Kakupakal.
