Chichen Itza, from Yucatan Maya: Chi'ch 'è en ǐ itsha' ("Itza Well") is a large pre Columbian city built by the Maya during the classical period. The archaeological site is located in Tinum, Yucatan, Mexico. Chichen Itza was the main focus of the North Maya lowlands, from the late classical period (around 600-900 AD) to the terminal classical period (around 800-900 AD) and the early post classical period (around 900-1200 AD).
