The name (pronounced "chich-EN  it-ZA") means "The mouth of the well of the Itza" (or "At the edge of the well of the Water Sorcerers" according to some authorities) owing to the large [[cenote]] at the north of the site which was considered sacred. The site is listed as a UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]] and was recently voted one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.<ref>[http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php?id=633&L=0 New 7 Wonders]</ref>
