Caguana Indigenous Ceremonial Center
Caguana Indigenous Ceremonial Center, Archaeological site in Utuado, Puerto Rico
The Caguana Indigenous Ceremonial Center features ten stone-lined plazas and multiple monoliths adorned with petroglyphs spread across the grassy grounds.
The site dates back to 1270 AD when Taíno people constructed these ceremonial courts, which remained active until Spanish colonization in the fifteenth century.
The stone plazas, known as bateys, served as ceremonial spaces where Taíno people performed rituals and engaged in ball games central to their society.
The site includes a museum displaying Taíno artifacts, interpretative signs along walking paths, and educational exhibits explaining the significance of petroglyphs.
The ceremonial center contains the largest collection of indigenous petroglyphs in the Caribbean, with stone carvings depicting birds and earth deities.
