Hacinas - pre history. Reconstruction.
To help visualise any pre Christian elements, a series of colours have been used to remove constructions from history.
An series of deeply and gradually eroded sculpted monoliths with forms that suggest protohistoric Celtiberian alters, basins, steps, platforms and graves with continued use into the early medieval phases. The man made forms are so weathered that bronze age and even the neolithic might be compared and contrasted. Very difficult to date.
The far central stack currently has a solitary bell tower built onto its height. One might think that this outcrop was traditionally used for acoustic signals. The area to the left currently has a church (San Pedro Apóstol - Iglesia de San Pedro).
Further carved monolithic interventions can be found behind the tripod.
An information board describes how the area was used for traditional dances. The Fête de la Saint-Jean is an example of a Christianised pagan solstice celebration. The village of Hacinas is currently below the monoliths.
