Cova Gran

It is a large semi-vaulted shelter; the portico is 70 metres wide by 25 metres high and 29 metres deep, which gives the floor plan an approximate surface area of 1800 square metres, far from the 2800 m attributed to it in various reports on the subject. The shape of the cave is due in part to the erosive action of the Sant Miquel ravine.

From an archaeological point of view, the cave presents an important cultural sequence with occupation levels that include events such as the Middle Palaeolithic - Upper Palaeolithic transition, the extinction of the Neanderthals and their relationship with the presence of the first modern humans. Other processes found there are human presence after the Last Glacial Maximum, as well as the consolidation of the Neolithic.

In the deepest part of the shelter, we find a square made of concrete and covered with iron plates, which delimits part of the site.
