Chichen Itza (pronEngt?i??t??n i??ts??; from lang-yuaChich�en �itsha, "At the mouth of the well of the Itza") is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site built by the Maya civilization located in the northern center of the Yucat�n Peninsula, in the Yucat�n state, present-day Mexico.
Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the northern Maya lowlands from the Late Classic (Mesoamerican chronology) through the Terminal Classic (Mesoamerican chronology) and into the early portion of the Early Postclassic (Mesoamerican chronology) period. The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, from what is called ?Mexicanized? and reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico to the Puuc style found among the Puuc Maya of the northern lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.
The ruins of Chichen Itza are federal property, and the site?s stewardship is maintained by Mexico?s Instituto Nacional de Antropolog�a e Historia (National Institute of Anthropology and History, INAH). The land under the monuments had been privately-owned until March 29, 2010, when it was purchased by the state of Yucatan.
