Cueva de la fuente del Trucho

The cave contains more than 140 figures painted in black and red colors, featuring horses, points, abstract signs, and negative handprints on its walls.

Discovered in 1978 by researchers from University of Zaragoza and Huesca Archaeological Museum, this cave represents the only known Paleolithic art site in Aragon.

The negative handprints on the walls include adult and child prints with some showing particular finger patterns, providing insights into ancient human practices.

While the original cave remains closed to visitors, a partial replica is available for viewing at the Rio Vero Rock Art Center in Colungo.

The cave contains a rare collection of three black infant handprints among the predominantly red markings, making it an exceptional archaeological discovery.
