Risco Caido and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria Cultural Landscape.
Museum Risco Caído and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage site that showcases the rich history and biodiversity of the area. Nestled in the heart of Gran Canaria, this stunning landscape features ancient troglodyte settlements—homes, granaries, and burial sites—that reflect the culture of pre-Hispanic Canary-Amazigh populations. Notable among its many archaeological features is Cave 6, a prehistoric astronomical clock that illuminates rock art during celestial events. The site includes sacred almogarenes, such as Risco Caído and Roque Bentayga, pivotal for seasonal ceremonies, demonstrating the sophisticated relationship between these people and their environment. Visitors can explore hiking trails, a Visitor Centre in Artenara, and soon a replica of the Risco Caído neocave, deepening their understanding of this unique cultural heritage.
