Poblado de Tufia

Close to the town center of Telde on a small peninsula bounded on the north by Aguadulce Beach and south on the beach of Tufia , is located the Pre-Hispanic Town of Tufia, one of the most well-known sites on the island.

The archaeological site consists of a group of caves that open directly on the sea and other constructions such as stone houses divided into two groups that are separated from each other, apart from these constructions we must also add some burial mounds. All this is surrounded by a wall that delimits the town.

Not all the town can be visited, but the one that is open to the public is divided into two groups, a southern part that includes four enclosures with rooms and a circular morphology on the exterior and three elliptical floors. the constructions, while one of them is quadrangular. The second group of constructions in the northern part has dwellings with similar characteristics to those in the southern part, with the difference that one of the enclosures is cruciform.

It is also necessary to add a square-shaped structure with rounded corners that shows the architectural perfection of the site despite being from pre-Hispanic times.
