Albarracín Cultural Park, Protected cultural park in Sierra de Albarracín, Spain
The park comprises red sandstone formations shaped by natural elements, creating distinct geological structures including scarps, gorges, and distinctive rock patterns.
The Levantine rock paintings discovered in 1892 mark the first recognition of prehistoric art in the Iberian Peninsula, leading to subsequent archaeological discoveries.
The rock art within the park exhibits two main styles: naturalistic Levantine Art depicting animals and abstract Schematic Art from the Neolithic period.
Marked pathways with colored arrows guide visitors through the park's rock art sites, geological formations, and natural landscapes containing diverse flora and fauna.
The park contains 26 prehistoric art locations across Albarracín, Bezas, and Tormón, plus two substantial engraving sites in Pozondón and Ródenas.

Aragon stretches across three provinces in northeastern Spain, preserving more than two thousand years of history through its monasteries, castles and medieval villages. The region displays Moorish towers in Teruel, Romanesque churches in the Pyrenees and Gothic bridges along ancient trade routes. Natural parks protect limestone canyons, caves holding prehistoric paintings and mountain ranges extending to the French border. Visitors explore fortified villages such as Albarracín and Sos del Rey Católico, where stone walls and narrow lanes tell of medieval life. The 11th-century Castillo de Loarre stands on a hilltop overlooking the Ebro valley, while Sierra de Guara Natural Park provides trails through deep gorges. Monasteries including San Juan de la Peña and Monasterio de Piedra connect religious history with surrounding landscapes, creating destinations that combine cultural heritage with natural environments.
