The Coronado Historic Site is at the Kuaua Pueblo in Bernalillo, New Mexico. Sitting on the bench above the Rio Grande River more than 1,500 rooms were constructed at the site when it was inhabited from about 1300 to 1500. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado entered the Rio Grande Valley near this site in 1540 in search of the Seven Cities of Gold.
