National Park of Rock Engravings of Naquane
National Park of Rock Engravings of Naquane, Archaeological park in Capo di Ponte, Italy
The National Park of Rock Engravings of Naquane is an archaeological site with over 100 engraved rocks scattered across a smoothed sandstone surface. The carvings come from different phases of prehistory and early metalworking periods and document human activity across thousands of years.
The site was established in 1955 as Italy's first protected archaeological park and holds carvings from the Upper Paleolithic through the Iron Age. These periods reflect long-term human presence and the development of techniques and symbols over time.
The rock carvings show scenes from the daily lives of communities that inhabited Valcamonica over thousands of years. Hunting activities, ritual moments, and craft work are carved into the stone and reveal the habits of these early people.
The park sits on a hillside and requires walks over marked paths between the rock blocks. Comfortable shoes and weather protection are advisable, as the terrain is open and elevation is a factor.
The park received UNESCO World Heritage designation in 1979 and was among the first such sites in the southern European region. This made it a turning point in international recognition of rock art as cultural heritage.
