==The Buildings==
The site contains several stone buildings occupying an area of 4 square miles. The stepped-pyramid Temple of Kukulcan (named "El Castillo" - the castle - by the Spanish), is the most well-known edifice. 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 archaeologist [[Edward H. Thompson]] (1856 - 1935).
