Stone steps ascend the steep face of the Kukulcan Pyramid, also known as El Castillo, at Chichen Itza, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The pyramid is a stepped structure with a square base, marked by geometrical precision, showcasing pre-Columbian architecture. The sun's rays create a lens flare effect, emphasizing the pyramid's height and grandeur. Constructed of weathered stone, the monument features a small temple structure at its summit, significant in Mayan culture for its astronomical and ceremonial purposes.
