It shows the arrival and development of the Itzáes, the evolution of religious ideas, and the style called "Yucatecan Maya" because it is mixed with elements of the original Puuc area. This style combines architecture, sculpture, and painting based on militarism and the Kukulkan cult, which began to spread to the Mayan region in the classical period, producing a renaissance of culture and society in the lands of Yucatán.

Chichén Itzá mean "mouth of the well of the water witches". It is one of the main archaeological sites of the Yucatan peninsula, in Mexico. It is located in the municipality of Tinum, in the state of Yucatán. It consisted of a city or a ceremonial center, which went through various construction periods and influences from the different peoples that occupied it and that promoted it since its foundation. An important and renowned vestige of the Mayan civilization, the main buildings that remain there correspond to the period called late classic or early post-classic.
The monumental architecture that has survived to this day, which is emblematic of the site, has a clear Toltec influence. The god who presides over the site, according to Mayan mythology, is Kukulkán, a Mayan representation of Quetzalcóatl, a god taken from the pantheon of the Toltec culture.
