Santimamiñe kobazuloa, Prehistoric cave entrance in Kortezubi, Spain.
The entrance leads to a complex cave system containing painted walls with animal representations and geological formations created over thousands of years.
The cave paintings date back to 13,000 BC during the Magdalenian period, depicting bison, horses, deer, goats, and brown bears on the rock walls.
The site received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008 for its collection of Paleolithic art and archaeological findings from prehistoric human settlements.
Visitors can experience a 3D virtual tour at the information center since the actual cave remains closed for preservation purposes.
Two local children discovered this archaeological site while playing near the cave entrance, leading to extensive research of prehistoric human activities.
