Cave of Pego do Diabo

The Cave of Pego do Diabo (Loca do Gato) is a small karst cave in Turonian limestone located 250m above sea level in Loures municipality, ~20km north of Lisbon, Portugal [1]. Archaeological excavations have revealed evidence of Neanderthal occupation with finds dating back to approximately 35,000 years ago [1]. The site has yielded stone tools, faunal remains, and evidence of carnivorous animals, providing insights into Paleolithic human presence on the Iberian Peninsula [1].
