Beautifully designed museum, informative and cheap, definitely visit the El Apendre restaurant next to it, they have the best tortilla on the island and the tomato salad is a poem.

If you like to take in some local history and have transport then visit La Fortaleza and museum, the site isn't accessable for wheel and push chairs or anyone with mobility issues, the museum is. There isn't a vast amount to see which makes what there is easily digestible to all. The museum was €4 for adults and €2 for children and the staff couldn't do enough for us, it all made for a pleasant, informative and inexpensive afternoon out.

Stunning surroundings of nature. Historical place.

We stopped here just to see what it was like, and it turned out to be one of the hidden gems of the holiday. The centre itself was very informative and the staff couldn't do enough for us. They even came to get us when they were staying the English version of the video. The exhibits eye clearly presented and full of good, engaging, detail. We then drove on to Fortaleza itself. This is a sight not to be missed. We climbed up to see the views, the caves and even a cave painting. We will check it's authenticity when we go back though. Fortaleza must have been a difficult life when it was inhabited, and getting change to see some of the living spaces first hand brought this home. Especially in 35°c heat. This is a top recommendation for Gran Canaria.

Very interesting 15/20 min film regarding the cave dwellers of the region. Also some amazing archeological finds, especially the skeletons. Very friendly staff. Great value at 4 euros and a nice clean loo!

Very much enjoyed the actual caves which you can climb up in to, but it wouldn't of meant much without the visit to the museum first. Not really too sure about the museum's roof top area seemed a little unfinished.

Ancient rock formation with impressive caves

Nice place beautiful landscapes

Interesting to gain insight into how the first inhabitants lived. Worth a visit .

The museum is small but well prepared. The main thing is a video at the beginning and then an archaeological sample. From the museum you can go to the Fortress peak (2 km). For me, the important thing is above all to assess whether it is worth the half hour on the mountain road from the highway. Especially if you go with a motorhome. The attention from the girl at the reception was excellent.

I really liked the site and it is very useful to complement the visit to La Fortaleza, understand its context and give it value. I found the facilities, the staff, the material and even the parking much more than adequate. I especially liked the video they showed us and the attention that the girl who served us gave us.

On our hike to Fortaleza we visited the information center. In our own cinema, we were able to watch the film about the indigenous people and their cave with our dog in pleasant air conditioning. A welcome break on our hike. We really liked the rest of the exhibition.

Worth a visit. It'll give you an understanding about the native people of Grand Canaria. Museum caretaker is very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic with explaining the local culture and cuisine.

A really wonderful and nice place to visit with a fantastic view

When combined with an archeological site, Centro de Interpretación de la Fortaleza is a really interesting place, giving you an insight on how the life looked like before Spanish conquest. A must-see.

Amazing museum to discover the culture and habits of the native people living in Gran Canaria many centuries ago. The most recent excavations were in 2022 so the information is up to date. Make sure to visit la Fortaleza itself after passing by the museum, it's really worthy seeing!

This is a lovely little museum packed with information about and finds from the pre-hispanic fortress of La Fortaleza, providing fascinating information in movies and storyboards of the native Canarians who lived there. The museum has a small gift shop and, more importantly, knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic staff. A few hundred metres (an easy walk, even in the heat) along the road is the site of La Fortaleza itself: A massive razor backed monolith of rock, peppered with caves used for habitation and burials. One dramatic cave pierces right through the mountain. At the foot of Fortaleza is a partially excavated pre-Hispanic village where the thick walls and foundations of the houses can clearly be seen. La Fortaleza is a great day out, both for the archaeology and the dramatic scenery. Don't be put off by the long and winding road that takes you there.

The ticket price is 4€. The 15/20-minute film explores cave dwellers' lives and showcases impressive archaeological finds, including skeletons of the pre-Hispanic people. Great value and an engaging experience. A site map for guidance when exploring the nearby mountain caves would be helpful.

Lovely gem on the mountain side with nice history and anthropological stories.

FAB place to visit. The staff had great knowledge, the young man just wanted to tell us so much. They speak perfect English, so no excuse for not going if your Spanish is not 100 %. All the signs are in Spanish, English and some in German as well.

Small but nice museum.

The documentary was wonderful and being able to admire everything that the museum exhibits is something incredible. Despite being a small space, it has a lot of relevant information about the island and its ancestors.

Really worth visiting the centre before visiting La Fortaleza. Very well presented with a short video and real archeological artifacts and mummies. A must see in your visit to Las Tirajanas.
