El Castillo
The Castillo is the most important historical building in Tulum and is located on a cliff. The temple has a roof made of wooden beams with stucco figures and well-preserved internal frescoes. The Castillo is surrounded by an enclosure within which there are ten structures of different ages. The largest among these structures is the Temple of the Diving God which is twenty-seven feet wide and twenty feet deep by nine feet high. Numerous frescoes decorate the sides of the door and its walls. In a niche on the door there is the image of a winged god. It is a Mayan deity named Ah Musen Cab: god of bees

Located right by the sea on a cliff, in a fantastic setting and now inhabited by many iguanas 😍
