Tulum Mayan Ruins
An important coastal trade city in the Mundo Maya, Tulum was a walled settlement inhabited from the 3rd century AD to the 10th century AD.
Here, the edifice, El Castillo (The Castle), is built on a high cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea and creates a stunning vista, especially at sunrise. Other important structures are the Temple of the Frescoes, which is ornately painted on the interior and adorned with detailed carved masks at each corner, and the Temple of the Descending God with intricate bas-relief carvings. |
