CHICHEN ITZA
- One of the new 7 wonders of the world
- Chichén Itzá, 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 probably the greatest, of all Mayan temples.
- Valladolid, named after Valladolid, at the time the capital of Spain, is the closest town to Chichen Itza.
- The pyramid of Kukulkan iluminated in Elton John´s concert.
