Praileaitz Cave

The cave system contains numerous chambers with red dot paintings located along the walls of multiple underground passages and halls.

Archaeological excavations in 2006 revealed Paleolithic cave paintings and portable art objects dating back approximately 18,000 years to the Upper Paleolithic period.

The red dot paintings and abstract forms carved on pebbles demonstrate the artistic capabilities of Cro-Magnon people during the Lower Magdalenian period.

The cave requires advance registration for visits and maintains specific entry regulations to protect the archaeological remains and ancient artwork.

Scientists discovered a collection of pendants and decorated stones that connect this location to other significant Paleolithic sites across Europe.
