Cave of the Guanches, Archaeological cave site in Icod de los Vinos, Spain
The Cave of the Guanches contains several natural caverns positioned 125 meters above sea level on the northern coast of Tenerife island.
Archaeological studies revealed occupation levels dating from the 6th century BCE, indicating long-term settlement patterns of the indigenous Guanche inhabitants.
Researchers discovered secondary burial pits, handmade pottery fragments, bone tools, and marine mollusk shells that detail the daily activities of ancient societies.
The archaeological findings from this location are displayed at the Museo Guanche in Icod de los Vinos and the British Museum.
The cave structure served as a residence for the menceyes, the traditional rulers of the Guanche people during the pre-Hispanic period.
