Zona Arqueológica La Pared de Jandía

The archaeological zone of La Pared of Jandía is located 20 kilometers from the city of Pájara, in the north-east part of Jandía. This archaeological area gets its name from a cobbled wall that is believed to have traveled from east to west dividing the island of Fuerteventura into 2 parts.

With the Norman conquest the wall was dated in the XV century, it is a pre-Hispanic construction located in the isthmus that joins the peninsula where Jandía is with the rest of the island. At the moment they are conserved around 6 kilometers of a height that vary between the 0,5 and 0,8 meters and that they present several attached modules, as well as many vestiges of prehispanic ascription.

There is a hypothesis in which he affirms that this wall served to separate the kingdoms of Jandía and Maxorata, although this theory is rejected by many experts.

La Pared de Jandía starts from the coast of Laja Blanca and continues south where it bifurcates and gradually disappears due to modern constructions and reappears again in the slopes of the Montañetas de Pedro Ponce.

Attached to the wall you can see up to 54 paved constructions of different sizes and typologies. La Pared de Jandía was declared Good of Interest Culture in 2014 by the Government of the Canary Islands.
