CHICHEN - ITZA : The Temple of the Warriors

The sacred city of the Itza,  is located 75 miles east of Merida, the Capital of the State of  Yucatan, Mexico. This archaeological site is rated among the most important of the Maya culture and covers an area of approximately six square miles where hundreds of buildings once stood.  

  In its architecture one can observe a gradual change in style, starting with the Puuc style, also shared with Uxmal and other sites and culminating with the so-called Mayan Toltec style, due to the architectural similarities with Tula, capital of the Ancient Toltecs, and with other sites in Central Mexico. 

        The Temple of the Warriors, ten meters tall and and over forty meters wide, is a good example of the Toltec influence on Maya architecture. This monument is almost an exact reproduction of one in Tula, the ancient capital of the Toltecs
