About El Castillo

El Castillo also called the Temple of Kukulcan is a Mesoamerican step-pyramid that dominates the center of the Chichen Itza archaeological website within the Mexican nation of Yucatán. The building is extra formally special by using archaeologists as Chichen Itza Structure 5B18. Built by the pre Columbian Maya civilization sometime among the 9th and 12th centuries CE or AD, El Castillo served as a temple to the god Kukulkan, the Yucatec Maya Feathered Serpent deity carefully associated with the god Quetzalcoatl known to the Aztecs and different central Mexican cultures of the Postclassic length.

The pyramid includes a series of square terraces with stairways up every of the four sides to the temple on pinnacle. Sculptures of plumed serpents run down the perimeters of the northern balustrade. Around the spring and autumn equinoxes, the past due afternoon solar strikes off the northwest corner of the pyramid and casts a chain of triangular shadows against the northwest balustrade, creating the phantasm of a feathered serpent crawling down the pyramid.
