Chichén Itzá - Yucatan, Mexico

Saturday, July 25, 2009

Built by the Maya civilization, Chichen Itza exhibits scores of architectural styles from central and northern Mexico. The site's historic ruins indicate that the ancient collapse of this once dominant city was violent, resulting in a major shift of the region's political power. Meticulous preservation of the site's temples, palaces, stages, markets and ballcourts continue to attract an influx of interest from around the world.
