Cueva de los Murciélagos

Cueva de los Murcielagos is a cave system in the Sierras Subbeticas near Zuheros, Cordoba, Spain. Evidence of human occupation reaches back 35,000 years to the Middle Palaeolithic. Neolithic deposits dated 4300-3900 BC yielded decorated ceramics, stone and bone tools, and ornaments made from seashells. The cave contains schematic rock art including the striking Frieze of the Ibex, with over thirty quadrupeds identified as ibex shown in dynamic positions. A second art zone features anthropomorphic figures and an idol motif. The cave hosts one of the largest bat colonies in Andalusia.
