The Pyramid at Chich�n Itz� (before 800 A.D.) Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

The Pyramid at Chich�n Itz� (before 800 A.D.) Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Chich�n Itz�, the most famous Mayan temple city, served as the political and economic center of the Mayan civilization. Its various structures - the pyramid of Kukulkan, the Temple of Chac Mool, the Hall of the Thousand Pillars, and the Playing Field of the Prisoners � can still be seen today and are demonstrative of an extraordinary commitment to architectural space and composition. The pyramid itself was the last, and arguably the greatest, of all Mayan temples.
