Summary
[edit]DescriptionMexico-5810 - Walled City (4620401390).jpg |
English: Tulum is a Mayan archaeological site on Mexico's Riviera Maya. The buildings that are visible on the site date from the Post-Classic period, around 1200 to 1500 A.D., and the city of Tulum was functioning at the time of the arrival of the Spaniards.
The most spectacular aspect of Tulum is its location on a cliff overlooking the brilliant turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The ruins themselves are not as impressive as those you will find at other Mayan archaeological sites, such as Chichen Itza and Uxmal. The name Tulum (pronounced "too-LOOM") means wall, referring to the fact that Tulum was a walled city, protected on one side by steep cliffs facing the sea and on the other by a wall of about 12 feet in height. Tulum served as a trading port. Within 70 years of the Spanish Conquest, Tulum was completely abandoned, although some Mayan pilgrims continued to visiting the city. |
