This UNESCO site, inscribed in 1998, encompasses over 700 locations across eastern Spain containing the largest known concentration of Levantine rock art in the world, created by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers between approximately 10,000 and 4,000 years ago. The paintings depict dynamic hunting scenes, human figures, and animals in a naturalistic style unique to this region. Key sites include the Valltorta Gorge in Valencia and the Cogul rock shelter in Catalonia.
