Hi Steemers
I just realized I have not submitted anything in the #architecturalphotography contest hosted by 
Located in the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, Chichen Itza used to be a major pre-Columbian city founded by the old Mayans, probably in the 8th century. It was one of the largest and most important centers of the old Mayan civilization.
With more than 2.6 million visitors annually, Chichen Itza is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Mexico as well as in all Central America. It was also named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Also known as the Temple of Kukulcan, El Castillo is the dominant and most recognizable feature of the place.
This giant Mesoamerican step-pyramid is 30 m (98 ft) high and it has a total of 365 steps - one for each day of the year.
There are several serpent sculptures at Chichen Itza. They represent Kukulcan, a snake deity from the ancient Mayan mythology.
The Temple of the Warriors. The collumns depict the feared old Mayan warriors.
