Photography | Chichen Itza


​While the rest of the world was immersed in the Middle Ages, the Maya built this majestic city,
primary political center of the Mayab.

Its icon, "El Castillo," a pyramid dedicated to the god Kukulcan, 
is a testimony of this important 

culture's impressive mathematical and astronomical precision, which still baffles visitors today.
