El Caracol
Chichen Itza, Mexico
This is truly one of the more amazing structures in the Mayan world. El Caracol was built as an observatory within the Mayan city of Chichen Itza. From the windows built into the round tower, Mayan astronomers could determine various seasonal times and other astronomical calculations.
