Its name, which in Spanish means "snail", comes from the spiral staircase inside the tower.

El Caracol, also known as "The Observatory" is located in the ancient Ma sito I was very impressed by the story behind this fascinating structure: Ma astronomi

🇮🇹 Il suo nome, che in spagnolo significa "lumaca", deriva dalla scala a chiocciola all'interno della torre.

El Caracol, noto anche come "L'Osservatorio" è situata nell'antico sito Maya di Chichen Itza. Mi ha colpito tantissimo la storia dietro questa affascinante struttura: gli astronomi Maya usavano El Caracol per tracciare i movimenti di Venere e altri eventi astronomici.
