Warriors' Temple

Great little visit. It’s actually right next to Chichen Itza so there’s plenty to see. Recommend to go early to avoid crowds and heat. If you want to buy souvenirs, bring cash

The Samurai Temple is the largest temple in the ancient city of Chiqin Itza, and it is a place for soldiers and martial arts during the ancient Maya period. The entrance of the temple is a very large square, very wide, definitely the most magnificent building in the ancient city, it is worth visiting.

The Samurai Temple is a major temple in the ancient city of Chichen Itza, which was previously a place for Biwu, according to archaeological discoveries. The temple is very well preserved, mottled walls, exposing a strong sense of history, its location in the central area of the entire site, it can be seen that at that time in the city was very high status.

The temple was built in the 11th century AD and covers a vast area. The wedge-shaped stone roof is supported by rafts, and the rafts are placed on the stone pillars. Now, the roof and rafts are gone, only the stone pillars and stone walls remain. The temple of the Samurai is richly decorated with reliefs. The snake heads of the two snake-shaped columns on the gate are beautifully carved. The walls on both sides are carved with the dragon snake body pattern reliefs. The tops on both sides of the ladder are decorated with small statues of the Samurai.

The Samurai Temple is next to the Qianzhu Square. The higher platform above the stone steps is where the Samurai Temple is, but it is difficult to see the shape of the temple at the site. The site is now surrounded by a cordon, and tourists can't get close contact, only look at the spectacular after the historical precipitation outside the cordon. It is said that this is a place where people and heads were sacrificed in ancient times.

The samurai sacred has a very sacred feeling, so many square stone pillars, represent the warrior's courage? It is really mysterious and long-range, the top can not be up, the carving details of the upper part can not be seen clearly, more people look up, in the morning to some reverse light.
