Chichen-Itza, The Mysterious City of The Mayans  11.Nov.2025 - Mexico

This sacred site is one of the greatest Mayan centres of the Yucatan peninsula. Throughout its nearly 1,000-year history, different peoples have left their mark on the city. The Maya and Toltec 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 Yucatan. Several buildings have survived, such as the Warriors Temple, El Castillo and the circular observatory known as El Caracol. Chichen Itza was a major center in the Northern Maya Lowlands from the Late Classic period (approximately 600-900 AD) to the Late Classic period (approximately 800-900 AD) and the beginning of the Postclassic period (approximately 900-1200 AD). The site exhibits numerous architectural styles reminiscent of those seen in Central Mexico and the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya Lowlands. The city likely had one of the most diverse populations in the Maya world, which may have contributed to the variety of architectural styles in the region.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichen_Itza)
