Rock Engraving Park of Grosio, Archaeological park in Valtellina, Italy

The Rock Engraving Park extends across 84 meters in length and contains over 5,000 ancient petroglyphs carved into the surface of Rupe Magna.

The site features engravings dating from the 4th millennium BC to the 1st millennium BC, alongside two medieval castles constructed between the 10th and 14th centuries.

The rock carvings depict geometric figures, praying individuals, armed warriors, and various animals, representing the artistic expressions of early Alpine civilizations.

The park includes an Antiquarium museum that displays archaeological artifacts and provides guided tours through marked exploration paths across the landscape.

The slopes surrounding the archaeological site contain dry-stone terraces established after 1200, which continue to support grape cultivation in the region.
