Casa Blanca, El Salvador

Casa Blanca is a significant pre-Columbian Maya archaeological site in Chalchuapa, El Salvador. This site is renowned for its pyramids, which date back to both the Late Preclassic period (500 BCE – 250 CE) and the Classic period (250 CE – 900 CE). Casa Blanca is part of the Chalchuapa archaeological zone and shows influences from the Olmec civilization and Teotihuacan. It is closely connected to the nearby ruins of Tazumal and San Andrés. Although many pyramids exist at the site, only two have been partially restored. The site, located in the Santa Ana department, is currently under restoration and features a museum showcasing Maya ceramics and artifacts. The archaeological significance of Casa Blanca lies in its demonstration of cultural interactions and architectural developments during the Maya civilization's early and classic phases.
