Museo Casaleon

In August 1999, while the foundations of what would become an art gallery were being excavated, a set of archaeological remains was discovered by chance.

An area of 10 m2 was excavated, detecting 4 occupation surfaces corresponding to the Engoroy cultures of the Late Formative period (1000 BC - 800 BC), and Guangala of the Regional Development period (800 BC - 800 AD).

Within the excavation corresponding to the Guangala culture, 4 tombs were found that are estimated to be around 2,000 years old. Two of them are exhibited at the site of the discovery, in our In Situ Archaeological Hall.
