Siega Verde

Siega Verde is a Palaeolithic open-air rock art site in the province of Salamanca, Castile and Leon, Spain, preserving over 440 engravings on rocks eroded by the Agueda River. Discovered in the late 1980s by Professor Manuel Santonja Gomez, the carvings date from the Upper Palaeolithic (ca. 22,000-8,000 BCE) and depict animals including equids, aurochs, deer, goats, bison, reindeer, and woolly rhinoceros. In 2010, it was added as an extension to the Coa Valley Prehistoric Rock Art UNESCO World Heritage Site, together forming the most remarkable open-air Palaeolithic art ensemble on the Iberian Peninsula.
