El Tajin picture photo copyrighted by: VICTOR OVIES 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 has 168 public buildings, including temples, ball courts, and plazas, within an area of nearly 200 hectares. At least a dozen ball courts have been identified at El Tajín, and the game is lavishly illustrated on the
walls of the buildings.
