Uxmal (Yucatec Mayan: Óoxmáal) is an ancient Maya city of the Classical period in present-day Mexico. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Mayan culture. Most of the city's major construction took place while Uxmal was the capital of a Late Classic Maya state around 850-925 AD. After about 1000 AD, Toltec invaders took over, and most building ceased by 1100 AD. After the Spanish conquest of Yucatán, early colonial documents suggest that Uxmal was still an inhabited place of some importance into the 1550s. As the Spanish did not build a town here, Uxmal was soon after largely abandoned. The name Uxmal means 'thrice-built' in the Mayan language, referring to the many layers of construction of its most imposing structure.
Here photographed, the Pyramid of the Magician (Spanish: Pirámide del adivino, "pyramid of the foreteller.") The structure is also referred to as the Casa el Adivino, and the Pyramid of the Soothsayer. The structure is the tallest and most recognizable building in Uxmal.
