Pueblo of Ziá
In 1583 Antonio de Espejo recorded this pueblo as one of five in the Province of Puname. Following the sacking of Zia by Spanish troops in 1689, the pueblo was reestablished, but never attained its former size. The Zia ancient sun symbol is incorporated in the design of the state flag of New Mexico.
Marker is on New Mexico Route 44 / (U.S. 55) 0.3 miles east of Zia Boulevard (Business Road 785), on the left when traveling west.
