Chan Santa Cruz was a late 19th-century indigenous Maya state in modern-day Quintana Roo. It was also the name of a shrine that served as the center of the Maya Cruzoob[note 1] religious movement, and of the town that developed around the shrine, now known as Felipe Carrillo Puerto. The town was historically the main center of what is now the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, and it acted as the de facto capital for the Maya during the Caste War of Yucatán.
