El Cerrito Historical Site
History buffs will delight in this hidden gem located on an isolated hilltop just outside Corona’s city center. El Cerrito, which translates to “the little hill”, offers panoramic views and serves as the site of an ancient Tongva village inhabited over 2,000 years ago. Several Tongva structures and artifacts remain here today for visitors to observe and learn about the native people who first called this land home. In addition to ancient ruins, El Cerrito also became the site of adobe homes built in the mid-1800s that now comprise the El Cerrito Adobe Historic District. Tour the restored adobe homes to immerse yourself in what life was like for early Spanish and Mexican settlers of the area. With its tranquil setting and wealth of history, El Cerrito is the perfect spot for an educational and reflective visit.
