Cave Art in Aldeaquemada
Arte Rupestre del Arco Mediterráneo Español
This collection of prehistoric schematic and Levantine-style paintings is scattered over crags and rock shelters. These sites are unique because of their themes, and are the most important in Andalusia, considered invaluable open-air museums. The paintings, mainly on rock shelters, were studied at the beginning of the twentieth century by Abate Brehuil and Manuel Cabré, who cataloged most of the paintings in the area. The site is Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in Spain, and in 1998, UNESCO declared “Arte Rupestre del Arco Mediterráneo Español” a World Heritage Site, including the 19 sites in Aldeaquemada.
