:El Fortin Conde de Mirasol was built between 1845 and 1855. “El Fortin” (The fort) is the best place on the island to learn about the island’s history. The Colonial style restored building houses a beautiful art gallery and a nice collection of indigenous artifacts. Although never completed, the fort has ramparts and a fully restored central building that houses a history and art museum; it's also home to Radio Vieques and the Vieques Historic Archives. Not surprisingly, its gift shop has an extensive selection of books on the island's history. | :El Fortin Conde de Mirasol was built between 1845 and 1855. “El Fortin” (The fort) is the best place on the island to learn about the island’s history.

:Ponce is home to The Tibes Indigenous Ceremonial Center, an ancient Taíno village. It was initially discovered by a charcoal maker from the area when a large flood in 1975 uncovered the buried remains--which were later shown to be a group of ceremonial plazas and ball fields. Some researchers suggest that, because of their placements, the plazas might have also been used as astral observatories. The largest indigenous cemetery, containing 186 skeletons, was also found. This site is considered to be one of the most important historical and archeological sites in the Antilles. | :Ponce is home to The Tibes Indigenous Ceremonial Center, an ancient Taíno village.
