Cova dels Cavalls, Prehistoric cave entrance in Tírig, Spain.
The cave entrance leads to a natural limestone formation featuring stalactites and stalagmites located in the Valltorta ravine at 500 meters above sea level.
Discovered in 1917 by Albert Roda, the cave became a subject of extensive research by archaeologists Hugo Obermaier and Paul Wernert regarding its rock paintings.
The cave contains a notable hunting scene depicting deer fleeing from archers, representing the Mediterranean rock art style of the Iberian Peninsula.
The entrance requires sturdy footwear and flashlights for exploration, while guided tours provide detailed information about the geological formations and archaeological findings.
The site received UNESCO World Heritage status in 1998 as part of the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin on the Iberian Peninsula.
