UNESCO
World Heritage Sites
The Pre-Hispanic City of Chichen-Itza , a
UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988, was one of the greatest
Mayan centres of the Yucatán peninsula. Throughout its
nearly 1,000-year history, different peoples have left their
mark on the city. 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 Yucatán. Several buildings have
survived, such as the Warriors' Temple, El Castillo and the
circular observatory known as El Caracol.
