Remigia Cave

Remigia Cave is a rock shelter site with approximately 750 paintings distributed across multiple stone walls showing ancient daily life. The works depict humans engaged in hunting and other activities, carefully preserved on the natural rock surfaces.

The cave was used thousands of years ago by hunter-gatherer cultures who recorded their experiences on stone surfaces. This art form emerged during a period when people began to document their world through images and share it with others.

The site is part of a larger Rock Art ensemble around the Mediterranean and shows how people thousands of years ago recorded their daily life and beliefs through painting. These artworks give visitors today a direct window into how ancient communities hunted and lived together.

Access is through marked pathways and guided tours are available to view the paintings up close within the protected chambers. The site is best visited during dry weather and with proper footwear for uneven terrain.

The hunting scenes show remarkably realistic details of how humans and animals interacted during the hunt. Such vivid depictions are uncommon and offer visitors insight into how prehistoric people understood and pursued their prey.
