Founded around 600 AD, Chichén Itzá became a crucial ceremonial and urban center for the Maya. Its architecture is an impressive display of the Maya's skill and knowledge in fields such as astronomy, mathematics, and acoustics. The Pyramid of Kukulcán, also known as El Castillo, is Chichén Itzá's most recognizable icon and stands as a living calendar, with its stairways representing the days of the year. Chichén Itzá also reflects the influence of other cultures, such as the Toltecs, with unique architectural elements like the Temple of the Warriors and the Ball Court.
