Fiestas de la candelaria pueblo nuevo gto 26 ene 2017 quema de castillo


Candelaria Pueblo, also known as Las Ventanas, is a Chacoan-style site located within the El Malpais National Monument. The site consists of a two-story great house with approximately 75-90 rooms. Built circa 1050-1100 A.D., the pueblo served as a house of worship and was surrounded by a community of smaller pueblos. A lava flow to the west of the great house preserved many of the ritual sites and artifacts associated with the pueblo.

Archaeological investigations at the site began in the 1980s and are still ongoing. The pueblo was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
