Cueva del Moro, Rock art cave in Tarifa, Spain
The cave contains Paleolithic engravings distributed across two levels, featuring a detailed representation of a pregnant mare measuring 103 centimeters in length.
Discovered in 1994 by Lothar Bergmann, this cave houses art pieces dating back 20,000 years, predating the famous Altamira cave paintings by 4,000 years.
The site represents the southernmost Paleolithic sanctuary in Europe, containing over 160 natural shelters with rock art illustrations in the Cadiz province.
Located 40 meters high, the cave requires advanced climbing skills to access and maintains protective fencing to prevent acts of vandalism.
Red dot formations cover the walls alongside naturalistic animal depictions, forming the largest such collection found in the Cadiz region.
