Mafiotte and Manuel de Oraá were its architects who, following the aforementioned neoclassicism of the time, decided to install a small lodge in the central part. Inside, the City Council also has an interesting display of works of art, a collection of its own made up with donations from the Museo del Prado, among others.

Tourism offices

The town of Mogán has one of the most emblematic pre-Hispanic archaeological sites on the island of Gran Canaria and is divided into several parts. On the one hand there is the coastal town that was built at the mouth of the Mogán ravine and that grew to become one of the settlements with the highest concentration of inhabitants, a group of stone houses that form the town of the Cañada de los Gatos, then there is the house of the Siete Esquinas and finally the necropolis of La Puntilla and Las Crucecitas with the burial caves.

The archaeological site of the Cañada de los Gatos has been declared Asset of Cultural Interest due to the importance within the chronoculture of the pre-Hispanic populations and for the good conservation of the entire environment.

The former inhabitants of the Cañada de los Gatos chose this place to build the town due to the good conditions offered by the place, the climate, the existence of running water that came from the ravine, good lands to be cultivated and the proximity of the coast that offered fishing.

The Archaeological Zone of the Cañada de los Gatos is well connected with the different points of the town to know the way of life of the ancient settlers.
