Jungle Prada Site

The Jungle Prada Site, also known as Jungle Mound or Anderson-Narváez Site, is an archaeological location in St. Petersburg, Florida, recognized for its Indigenous Tocobaga mounds and its historical significance as the landing site of the Narváez expedition. The site spans both public and private property, including the Jungle Prada de Narvaez city park on the eastern shore of Boca Ciega Bay.

The Tocobaga tribe inhabited the area from 1000 to 1600 CE, with their village complex featuring mounds that once stretched over three miles (4.8 km) along Boca Ciega Bay. Most of these mounds were dismantled for urban development in the 20th century, but some remain. Notable among these are a twelve-foot-tall plaza mound likely used for ceremonial purposes and a massive 23-foot-tall, 900-foot-long midden mound. The portion of the mounds on private property is considered "archeologically pristine."

The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 2003. A marker placed by the Diocese of St. Petersburg recognizes it as the location of the first Catholic Mass in Florida. Public areas include picnic tables, a fishing pier, and a boat launch, maintained by the City of St. Petersburg. The better-preserved mounds and a small archaeological museum are on private land and accessible via guided tours.
