Mayapan, Archaeological site in Tecoh, Mexico.
The site spans 4.2 square kilometers with 4,000 structures, including temples, residential platforms, and a 9-kilometer defensive wall with twelve entrance gates.
Mayapan functioned as the political center of Maya civilization in Yucatan from 1220 to 1440, until conflicts between ruling families led to its destruction.
The Temple of Kukulcan stands as the central pyramid with four staircases leading to nine terraces, reflecting traditional Maya religious architecture.
The archaeological site remains closed until August 2024, with regular visiting hours from 8 AM to 5 PM and an entrance fee of 75 Mexican Pesos.
The excavated workshops reveal evidence of specialized production areas for copper items, flint tools, and obsidian implements used by Maya craftsmen.
