Caballo de Piedra (Tzimin Chac – Horse of Thunder)
Highlight • Monument
In 1618, two Jesuit priests, accompanied by several hundred indigenous people from Belize, visited the town of Tah Itzá and were initially received warmly. When the priests saw that the Itzá worshipped the wooden horse Tzimin Chac ("Horse of Thunder"), built during the time of Cortés, they destroyed it and a fight broke out. The ruler of the Itzá, also named Ah Kaan Ek, had the Spaniards expelled.
