The Route of Rock Art
The Route of Rock Art indicates a series of exceptional sites that evoke prehistoric life for us. These painted scenes, of the greatest fragility, some of which were created over 8,000 years ago, have declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO for their singularity.
The Route of Rock Art is a cultural tourism project coordinated by the Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya, which aims to preserve, research and diffuse this heritage: an enigmatic art that invites us to reflect on the origins of artistic creation and its authors. This route remains under construction, and additional sequences will be added in the future. On the other hand, the Route of Rock Art is part of the REPPARP (European Network of Early Setteles and Prehistoric Cave Art), which encapsulates various regions of south-western Europe. Its objective is to cultivate and promote the heritage resources with respect to cultural tourism.
