A small city, it was nevertheless occupied for over a 1000 years until, of course, the Spanish conquistadors came. They built a church, which for hundreds of years was forgotten.
A cenote sits in the center of the site. Revered as sacred given the lack of lakes and rivers in the Yucatan, the Maya appreciated cenotes as much for their spirituality as for the lifegiving water they held during the dry season (yes, sometimes it doesn't rain here).
Here is mamí resting on the steps of the Templo de Siete Muñecas, so named because when 'discovered' the temple had seven little wooden dolls found there. Who knows, the Maya could have called it Templo de Mil Muñecas...
A very special place, during the spring and fall equinoxes the sun rises and shines directly through the temple windows.
Lots of other really cool artifacts were found there as well...
