This rock, also formerly known as Fortaleza de Taborno or Anaga, is a basaltic rock shaped pillar of 706 meters above sea level, product of the erosion of the land of which it was part in a remote time.

It is located on a ridge that separates the ravines of Taborno and Tamadiste, near the hamlet of the same name.
