El Meco

El Meco, anciently known as Beel'maan, is an archaeological Maya site located on the Caribbean coast of northern Quintana Roo, Mexico, eight kilometers north of Cancún. El Meco was a major Pre-Columbian Maya port city and maritime trade site on the East Coast of Quintana Roo during the Postclassic period of the Maya civilization until the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. The site includes several ceremonial structures, altars and shrines distributed around a main plaza. The main building is a pyramid temple known as "El Castillo" ("The Castle"), the tallest Maya building on the East Coast of Quintana Roo, whose front of the temple faces the sea, which gave this structure a great ceremonial significance, being also a major Maya pilgrimage site in the region.
