Our trip to El Tajin was most interesting El Tajín is the name of the principal metropolitan Classic period Maya site in Veracruz, Mexico. El Tajin was occupied from the pre-urban days, but reached its height during the Classic Maya period, AD 250-900, when the population may have been as large as 20,000.
The site of El Tajin has 168 public buildings, including temples, ball courts, and plazas, within an area of nearly 200 ares. At least a dozen ball courts have been identified at El Tajín, and several depictions of the game are lavishly carved into and painted on the walls of the buildings.
