archive_calendar();

you can also configure it:

$defaults = array(
    'next_text' => '˃', //text showing on the next year button, can be empty or HTML to use with Font Awesome for example.
    'prev_text' => '˂', //just like next_text but for previous year button.
    'post_count' => true, //show the number of posts for each month
    'month_view' => true, //show months instead of years archives, false by default.
    'month_select' => 'default', // shows the last month available with at least one post. ('prev', 'next', 'current').
    'different_theme' => 0, // set 1 (true) if you want to set a different theme for this widget
    'theme' => null, // theme 'name' if 'different_theme' == true
    'categories' => null, // array() -> list of categories IDs to show. array(1,2,34)
    'post_type' => null // array() -> list of post types to show. array('post', 'movies')
);
archive_calendar($args);

Custom taxonomies are not supported. If your custom post_type post has no common category with post it will not be shown in the archives
