The site dates from the early 16th century and consists of an excavated indigenous settlement and cemetery, including dozens of well-preserved human remains. Recent scholarship suggests that indigenous peoples were living here many decades after Christopher Columbus' arrival. Across from the site is a restaurant and a reconstructed indigenous village that features life-sized models of native dwellings.
