The ruins of Dzibilchaltún are close to Merida and were once an ancient city that was one of the largest Mayan cities in the region.The fall and spring equinoxes are important days to visit this site as the morning sun passes through the opening of the main pyramid, the Temple of the Sun, on those days.The temple is also known as the Temple of the Seven Dolls (Templo de las Siete Muñecas) named after grotesque dolls found there.In addition to the pyramid and several stone structures, there is a small museum and a cenote.All of the ruins can be climbed by visitors.
