Roques de la Vila, Rock formation in Finestras, Spain
The limestone rock formation creates two parallel vertical walls stretching for 500 meters along the border between Aragon and Catalonia regions.
The medieval Finestras Castle and San Vicente hermitage from the 11th century stand between the two limestone walls of this geological formation.
The formation earned its nickname 'Chinese Wall of Finestras' due to its resemblance to fortified walls extending through the mountainous landscape.
Visitors can reach the formation through forest trails from Estopiñan del Castillo, or by kayak through Canelles reservoir when water levels permit.
The vertical rock strata resulted from tectonic movements that transformed horizontal limestone layers into parallel walls through subsequent erosion.
