Chichen Itza
Temple of Warriors
Plaza of 1,000 Columns
Unlike the gauntlet of warrior columns that appear to guard the
staircase of the Temple of Warriors, the colonnade's to the south
consist off hundreds of round pillars, giving it the name Plaza
of the Thousand Columns.
The actual number of columns is considerably less than a thousand,
but the site of hundreds of pillars is still impressive.
