The Bélmez Faces are images of human faces that appeared on the kitchen floor of a house in Bélmez de la Moraleda. The forms shifted their expressions and positions over time, without any ordinary explanation being found.
The first face appeared on August 23, 1971, in the house of María Gómez Cámara and triggered decades of investigation. Researchers from different fields traveled in the following years to document and analyze the appearances.
The cement floor in a private kitchen displays human faces that have drawn visitors from around the world to witness the phenomenon firsthand. This event turned a modest household into a meeting point for people curious about unexplained events and eager to see what happened in this small village.
