Località

From Tivissa we will follow the paved track that passes through Sant Blai, until we reach the coll del Ventall; from here we will follow the camí del Perelló until we reach a signpost (ETRS89 X:306545; Y:4543609). We take a track that leads to an AA.TT. tower. Before reaching it, however, we leave it to take a small poorly marked path indicated by a sign that leads us through a small ravine to the Partida de Vilella. We arrive at a small esplanade where there are explanatory signs for the 3 coves de Vilella.

The Cova del Ramat is located practically in front of the font Vilella itself, from which it is perfectly visible, at a height of about 20 m and on the right bank of the ravine. The shelter is protected by a metal grille.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The Cova del Ramat is actually a shelter about 15 metres long, 6 m maximum height and about 8 m deep. At the right end of this shelter there is a small concavity, about 3 m from the ground. The dimensions are 2 m high by 2.5 m deep and long. The paintings are located precisely in this concavity, oriented to the N-NE, exactly on its right wall.

Altri dettagli

The frieze represents a herd in movement made up of 11 figures: 10 caprids, 9 of them with large curved horns and another that seems to correspond to a young animal, and remains of pigment. The style is clearly naturalistic, presenting, however, different degrees of stylization. The colour of all the pictographs is predominantly chestnut with different reddish tones.

Storia

In September 1921 the rock paintings of the Cova del Pi were discovered by Mr. Poch. A month later, a commission headed by professor Hernández-Pacheco and the discoverer himself, Mr. Poch, went there from Madrid to draw them and take all the data of their location. In November of the same year, the Institut d'Estudis Catalans (IEC) learned of the discovery and sent Mr. Colominas who, together with Mr. Lluís Brull, went to see the discovered paintings and discovered four more, two of which are the paintings of the Cova del Ramat and the Cova del Cingle. The group of these three cavities is known as the coves de la Vilella.

Catalogued as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 1998.
