Itzá, the most famous Mayan temple city, served as
the political and economic center of the Mayan civilization.
Its various structures - the pyramid of Kukulkan, the Temple
of Chac Mool, the Hall of the Thousand Pillars, and the Playing
Field of the Prisoners – can still be seen today and
are demonstrative of an extraordinary commitment to architectural
space and composition. The pyramid itself was the last, and
arguably the greatest, of all Mayan temples.
