EL CASTILLO
The most imposing construction of the site which consists of a large staircase that leads to a temple in Tulum
the "Castle" is the most imposing construction of the site, the one that appears on the postcards of the archaeological zone, for its unequalled position facing the Caribbean Sea. This building consists of a large staircase that leads to a temple in which three openings have been made. Some kind of oratories were annexed on each side of the staircase during the last stage of construction. This building was used both as a ceremonial temple and as a lighthouse to help orient the boats in their passage of the coral reef.
