-: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.
