    The so-called Caracol or Observatory is a structure built in the form of a larger circular tower, resting on a platform with a central staircase. The base rests on another rectangular platform, decorated with a cornice with rounded corners at the top. The Caracol is actually constructed of three superimposed buildings.

    The Ball Court was more of a ceremonial ritual than a sport and probably represented a symbolic reenactment of the mythical battle between night and day. There is a unique acoustic phenomenon at the ball court: if one speaks at the temple at the southern end, one's voice can be heard at the opposite end, while the sound reverberates along the walls of the northern temple.

    The Castle or Pyramid of Kukulcan is a four-sided pyramid with a rectangular temple on top. A worthy testimony to the astonishing progress of the Maya in architecture and astronomy, the "light and shadow" phenomenon that occurs on the north staircase of the Castle during the Spring Equinox, where a serpent can be seen descending the stairs. The sun casts seven triangles of light onto the balustrade on the northeast side of the Castle. These begin to move up and down along the balustrade to form the silhouette of a descending serpent.

    30 minutes Admission ticket included
