Parque Cultural La Zarza (Arqueología)

La Zarza is one of the largest rock art sites on La Palma, both in terms of the size of the engraved surface (29 panels) and the complexity and development of the motifs. For this reason, it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest on April 4, 1995, and shortly thereafter the Archaeological Park with a Site Museum was built. The archaeological site, discovered by Don Ramón Rodríguez in 1941, consists of pastoral settlements, several caves and seasonal occupation cejos. The motifs represented can be grouped into four basic categories: spirals, circuliform, meanders and linear.

Sustainability

- Do not take photos using the flash. They could damage items of artistic and cultural value.
- Use the waste- paper baskets and, insofar as possible, separate and place your recycling waste in the appropriate containers. Do not eat inside exhibition rooms.
- Try to be careful with your rucksack or bag and make sure you do not hit anything when you move.
- Try to be silent or speak quietly so that you do not bother other visitors.
