Caratteristiche

Località

At kilometre 6 of the T-3225 road from Cornudella de Montsant to Siurana, turn left towards els Masets but always following the leftmost track; after covering 1 kilometre we come to a junction which we follow to the right, at 2.39 km we come to a new junction which we also follow to the right; if up to this point it was possible to drive with a high vehicle, from here on it is necessary for it to be a 4x4. We will follow the track for 550 metres and park in front of a path which we will follow for 900 metres; at this point we will turn left and in about a hundred metres through old cultivation terraces we will reach the rock shelter, which is inside a wire fence enclosure with an accessible gate.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Worked rock shelter 18 metres wide and 13 metres deep; one can stand upright throughout the cave.

Idrologia

On the ground next to the back wall a channel in the rock is preserved that served to collect the water that trickled down the wall and ended up in small pools made in the rock floor.

Altri dettagli

The construction of the interior wall that divides the rock shelter must have been later, since it currently interrupts the course of the channel to the small pools.

Storia

Known since ancient times both in la Febró and in Siurana.
