| A partially restored pyramid at Casa Blanca |
Casa Blanca is a pre-Columbian Maya archeological site in
Chalchuapa, El Salvador. The site possesses severalpyramids dating to the Late
Preclassic period (500 BC – AD 250) and the Classic period (AD 250–900). This
ruin is part of the Chalchuapa archaeological zone and displays influences from
the Olmecs and from Teotihuacan. It is closely related to the ruins of Tazumal
and San Andrés. The government purchased the park in 1977 and it was given the
name of the coffee plantation upon which it was situated. There are many
pyramids at Casa Blanca but only two have been partially restored. Casa Blanca
is located in the department of Santa Ana. Casa Blanca has been closed to the
public and is undergoing restoration work; it has a site museum with exhibits
that include Maya ceramics and other artifacts.
