## Review
Large pyramid with a nice view of the city of [[Izamal]] and its central plateau topped with the [[San Antonio de Padua Convent]].
You can climb this pyramid, unlike many other pyramids in Mexico like [[Teotihuacán]] and [[Cobá]].
It's the third largest pyramid in Mexico, after the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Puebla and the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacán.
Not sure if worth visiting just for the pyramid itself, but great to do as part of a day trip to Izamal.
