Rock drawings in Valcamonica, Prehistoric rock art site in Valcamonica, Italy.

The Valcamonica valley contains over 140,000 carved rock drawings spread across multiple locations, displaying scenes from daily activities, weapons, and symbols.

The rock art collection dates from 8,000 BCE through the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Roman period, documenting human presence in the Alpine region.

The petroglyphs reveal early forms of social organization through depictions of hunting, agriculture, navigation, warfare, and religious ceremonies.

Eight archaeological parks in the valley provide guided tours and educational programs, with marked trails connecting different rock art locations.

The site features the first known representations of ski poles and wheels in human history, carved into the rocks by ancient inhabitants.
