The monument in the picture is El Castillo. it is located in Yucatán Peninsula , Mexico. It is spanish for "the castle ".it is a UNISCO World Heritage Site.It was earlier known as the Temple of Kokulcan.It was constructed betwee 8-12 century. This monument is made up of limestone.
It is a Mesoamerican step-pyramid that dominates the centre of the Chichen itza archaeological site. The people of the pre- Columbian Maya civilization built it as a temple for the feathered serpent deity, the god Kukulkan.
During the spring and autumn equinoxes , the late afternoon sun strikes off the northwest corner of the pyramid and casts a series of triangular shadows against the north west balustraded which creates a illusion of a feathered serpent crawling down the pyramid.
