Temple of the Warriors, one of the most impressive structures at Chichén Itzá

El Caracol at Chichén Itzá may be the best known of all Maya observatories

One of the more notable structures at Chichén Itzá is a complex of Terminal Classic buildings constructed in the Puuc architectural style. The Spanish nicknamed this complex Las Monjas ("The Nuns" or "The Nunnery") but was actually a governmental palace. Just to the east is a small temple (nicknamed La Iglesia, "The Church") decorated with elaborate masks of the rain god Chaac.

Teotihuacan, ceremonial center, Pyramid of the Sun from the Pyramid of the Moon

The Pyramid of the Sun is the largest building in Teotihuacan and one of the largest in Mesoamerica

The name Pyramid of the Sun comes from the Aztecs, who visited the city of Teotihuacan centuries after it was abandoned; the name given to the pyramid by the Teotihuacanos is unknown. (The ethnic identity of Teotihuacan's inhabitants is not known). To the Aztecs, Teotihuacan was a holy place, where the sun, moon and universe were created. It was they who gave Teotihuacan its name, meaning "The place where men become gods". They also named the Calle de los Muertos, thinking (wrongly) that the many ruined temples and monuments along the "road" were burial places of early rulers.

Tula is generally accepted as the legendary capital 'Tollan' of the Toltec empire,Tula became the capital city following Teotihuacan, although it never reached the same size due to competing cities in the area.

These four immense statues still stand on the top of pyramid-B in Tula. They stand over 4.6m high and are suggested to have once been supports for a temple.
