Descrizione
Morfologia
Large rock shelter about 40 metres wide at the mouth and about 8-10 metres high. Along its width a dry-stone wall runs.
The cavity, from the outer lip, goes in about 18 metres in length and the final section rises by a kind of natural steps that lead to the highest point where the cavity closes.
Storia
Known since ancient times, but it is not until the autumn of 1921 that it is discovered by Maties Pallarès in the course of a survey of the barrancs of the area. Studies by Bosch Gimpera and Colomines begin immediately afterwards, describing two paintings of highly stylised human figures which they classify as rock art.
Much later studies (Alonso; Grimal, 1987) conclude that these drawings cannot be considered as belonging to rock art, but rather of a later chronology and difficult to classify. In fact, they no longer even appear in the archaeological inventory of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
