Date:
  Chichén Itzá, State Quintana Roo, México
Warriors Temple
Early Postclassic (900-1200 AD)
950-1050 AD
Comments: Great example of a "hybrid" style: typical elements of Maya architecture merge with forms from Central Mexico and other regions of Mesoamerica. The layout, structure and use of pillars and columns are very similar to Mixtec Morning Star Temple in Tula.
