Laxe das Rodas, Prehistoric petroglyph site in Louro, Muros, Spain.
The archaeological site contains nine distinct engravings on granite rock, featuring two spirals and seven concentric circles with central basins.
Dating from the Bronze Age, Laxe das Rodas includes 65 small cup marks surrounding two main spiral carvings that rotate in opposite directions.
The stone carvings at Laxe das Rodas represent ancient beliefs connected to solar calendars and agricultural rituals of prehistoric communities.

The primary spiral formation consists of a large right-turning design paired with a smaller left-turning spiral, both containing radial channels.
