Chichen Itza

Chichén Itzá is a large Mayan city famous for a large, pyramid temple built by the Maya civilization. It is on the Yucatán Peninsula, about 120 km to the east of Mérida. The temple, called Castillo, is about 1 km in diameter. There are many temples and pyramids at Chichen Itza.  

 Chichén Itzá on kuuluisin ja parhaiten kunnostettu esikolumbiaaninen arkeologinen alue ja historiallinen kaupunki Jukatanin niemimaalla Meksikossa. Sen rakentamisen aloittivat mayat. Chichén Itzá kuuluu Unescon maailmanperintöluetteloon. Vuonne 2007 Chichen Itza valittiin maailman uuden seitsemän ihmeen joukkoon globaalin yleisöäänestyksen perusteella. Alue on Meksikon toiseksi eniten vierailtu arkeologinen kohde.
