Petroglyphs of Mogor

Petroglyphs of Mogor, Archaeological site in Marín, Spain.

The Petroglyphs of Mogor are three visible carved rock outcrops at A Barriada in Mogor, in the municipality of Marín, Pontevedra. The Pedra do Labirinto is an elongated rock about 5 by 1.5 metres, carved with wide, deep grooves forming a labyrinth around a central cup mark, with appendages at the top. About ten metres away, the Pedra dos Campiños has a fainter labyrinth without the cup mark, and the Laxe dos Mouros shows twenty-three circular combinations linked by curved lines, cup marks, two pseudo-labyrinthine figures, four simple circles and a barely visible deer.

The carvings belong to the Galician Rock Art Group, made between 1800 and 600 BC. Seven carved rocks once existed at Mogor; three remain. The labyrinth motif is rare in Galicia, with only five known examples, all in Pontevedra province. The site was declared a historic-artistic monument.

The name Laxe dos Mouros recalls the "Pedra da moura encantada", the enchanted Moorish woman of Galician legend once attached to this slab. The site lies in A Barriada, in the parish of Mogor, and is grouped with the rock art of Terras de Pontevedra. The labyrinth motif is rare in Galician rock art: only five examples are known, all in the province of Pontevedra.

The three carved rocks lie in a landscaped area at A Barriada in Mogor, reached on foot from Marín. Walkways built with the interpretation centre, finished in late 2011, let you view the carvings from above without stepping on the stones. The Pedra dos Campiños labyrinth is faint and shows only in certain light, so time your visit accordingly.

The site lies inland at A Barriada in Mogor parish, not on the coast. Seven carved rock groups once existed here; only three remain visible, among them the Pedra do Labirinto, a 5 by 1.5 metre slab. The Laxe dos Mouros was formerly called "pedra da moura encantada".
