Ceremonial ball courts

Directions

Centro Ceremonial Indígena de Caguana is a Taíno archaeological site in Utuado, considered one of the largest and most important Pre-Columbian sites in the West Indies. The grounds hold a set of bateyes, the ceremonial ball courts, which are estimated to be more than 700 years old and remain well preserved. Monoliths carved with petroglyphs stand along the courts. The site carries heritage listing and protected-area status, and it gives a direct look at how the Taíno laid out spaces for ceremony and gathering in the island's interior.
