The site contains several stone buildings occupying an area of 4 square miles. "El Castillo" (the castle), a pyramid, is the most famous one; it is also known as the Temple of Kukulcan. The High Priest's Temple is a small replica of "the Castillo" Pyramid; the name comes from an elite burial discovered by early excavator, the American archeologist [[Edward H. Thompson]] (1856 - 1935).
