Which Mayan city in Mexico is famous for the pyramid of Kukulcán? Chichen Itza is the correct answer.

Chichen Itza was a major Maya city in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Its best-known monument is the Temple of Kukulcán, also called El Castillo, a stepped pyramid dedicated to the feathered-serpent deity Kukulcán.

The pyramid has four stairways, each traditionally counted as having 91 steps; together with the temple platform, that produces the symbolic total of 365, matching the days of the solar year. Around the equinoxes, sunlight and shadow can create a serpent-like pattern along the northern staircase.

A common mix-up is confusing the pyramid with the entire archaeological site: Kukulcán is the famous structure, while Chichen Itza is the wider ancient city containing ball courts, temples, and other monumental buildings. The site became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
