Abrics de l'Ermita Rock Art
Discover fascinating pre-historic cave paintings with this guided tour of the Abrics de l'Ermita and a visit to the interpretation centre.
Abrics de l'Ermita Rock Art
We'll meet at the time of your choice at the Pietat Chapel, located on the road between Tortosa and Ulldecona.
The tour will begin with a brief introduction to the spirituality behind the Levantine cave paintings found in this area of Catalonia. What did they represent? Where did they get the dyes from? These questions will be answered when we visit the Abrics de l'Ermita Rock Art Interpretation Centre, where we'll learn all about how humans lived 7000 years ago.
After visiting the centre, we'll take a walk to see three of the nine shelters that have been preserved around the chapel. Inside these caves, we'll get to see an extraordinary set of cave paintings declared a World Heritage Site.
This rock art from the Neolithic period reflects the civilization's beliefs and myths, many of them related to hunting. It is also a way of capturing their rituals on stone. In order to carry them out, they would gather in this type of natural terrain that protected them from the rain and winds.
Two hours later, our guided tour will end as we enjoy breathtaking views of the region of El Montsiá and the Serra de Godall mountain range.
