Candelaria Pueblo, also known as Las Ventanas, is a Chacoan-style site located within the El Malpais National Monument. The site consists of a two-story great house with approximately 75-90 rooms. Built circa 1050-1100 A.D., the pueblo served as a house of worship and was surrounded by a community of smaller pueblos. A lava flow to the west of the great house preserved many of the ritual sites and artifacts associated with the pueblo.^[2]

Archaeological investigations at the site began in the 1980s and are still ongoing.^[2] The pueblo was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.^[1]
