Petroglyphs of Mogor, Archaeological site in Marín, Spain.
Petroglyphs of Mogor are rock carvings found along the Galician coast featuring ancient symbols and patterns spread across multiple stone surfaces. The collection displays geometric shapes, spiral designs, and animal figures carefully etched into the rock.
The carvings date back thousands of years to early periods of human settlement in this Galician coastal region. These early artworks document how communities expressed themselves creatively and mark important stages in the region's past.
The carvings reflect symbolic messages that held meaning for the communities living here, possibly marking spiritual or social ideas important to their world. Walking among them today, you can sense how these designs connected people to their land and to each other.
The site is easy to reach and includes signs that help visitors understand the different carvings and their meanings. It is best to wear sturdy footwear and come prepared for uneven ground and changing weather conditions.
The rocks sit in their original location right along the coast, where they have faced wind, waves, and weather for thousands of years. This setting lets you experience today how the ancient art relates directly to the natural landscape that surrounded those who created it.
