Chichen Itza/Templo de Kukulkan/Castillo ,Peninsula de Yucatan,Mexico.estructura también conocida con el nombre de «El Castillo», debido a que los conquistadores españoles en el siglo xvi buscaban alguna similitud arquitectónica con las existentes en el continente europeo..El actual templo fue construido en el siglo xii d. C. por los mayas itzaes.En esta construcción se rindió culto al dios maya Kukulkán (en idioma maya: Serpiente Emplumada)?,2​ razón por la cual se pueden apreciar motivos serpentinos en la decoración arquitectónica. Por otra parte también cuenta con simbolismos que hacen alusión a los números más importantes utilizados en el calendario calendario solar agrícola, el calendario Tzolkin (calendario sagrado) y la rueda calendárica. La alineación de la construcción de la pirámide permite que se puedan observar diversos fenómenos de luz y sombra, los cuales se producen en su propio cuerpo durante los equinoccios y solsticios cada año.
Built by the pre-Columbian Maya civilization sometime between the 8th and 12th centuries CE or AD, El Castillo served as a temple to the god Kukulkan, the Yucatec Maya Feathered Serpent deity closely related to the god Quetzalcoatl known to the Aztecs and other central Mexican cultures of the Postclassic period.

The pyramid consists of a series of square terraces with stairways up each of the four sides to the temple on top. Sculptures of plumed serpents run down the sides of the northern balustrade. Around the spring and autumn equinoxes, the late afternoon sun strikes off the northwest corner of the pyramid and casts a series of triangular shadows against the northwest balustrade, creating the illusion of a feathered serpent "crawling" down the pyramid. The event has been very popular and is witnessed by thousands of visitors at the spring equinox, but it is questionable whether it is a result of a purposeful design, because the light-and-shadow effect can be observed, without major changes, during several weeks around the equinoxes.[1] Each of the pyramid's four sides has around 91 steps which, when added together and including the temple platform on top as the final "step", may produce a total of 365 steps (the steps on the south side of the pyramid are eroded) (which is equal to the number of days of the Haab' year).[2]
