The Caguana Ceremonial Ball Courts Site in Caguana barrio, Utuado, Puerto Rico, is considered, by archeologists, one of the most important archeological sites in the West Indies. Studies estimate it is over 800 years old, built by the Taíno around 1270 AD. Approximately 30 ball courts have been identified and many have been restored to their original state. The game of batey is believed to have originated in Mesoamerica and is said to have been played in Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Monoliths and petroglyphs carved by the Taínos can be seen among the rocks and stones, some weighing over a ton, that were most likely brought from the Tanama River located adjacent to the site. Also located near the site is the Cemí Mountain which was believed, by the Taínos, to be the home of their gods and the reason they built the ball courts in that area. The Caguana Site most likely served several different functions. First it was used for ceremonial dances, religious rituals and other rites; it was used for playing ball games in which two teams of equal numbers tossed a ball to each other; and third, it is believed to be used to make astronomical observations.
