La Fortaleza is one of the most important Archaeological sites in Gran Canaria. It is formed by three large rocks: Fortaleza Grande, Fortaleza Chica and Titana. La Fortaleza is the placed where the events of the 29th of April 1483 took place. On this day the native islanders surrendered themselves to the Castilian troops. The surrendered leaders, Bentejuà and the faycan of Telde, Tazarte, threw themselves off a cliff crying out Atis Tirma! However, in recent times it has been doubted that these events actually took place at this location.
