The C\u00f4a Valley Archaeological Park<\/strong> is located in the northernmost part of\u00a0Guarda district<\/strong>, in the region known as Alto Douro<\/strong>. In the final section of the C\u00f4a river, more than 80 sites with rock art<\/strong> and around 1200 engraved outcrops<\/strong>\u00a0are located in a territory of about 200 km2<\/strong> covering areas in the municipalities of Vila Nova de Foz C\u00f4a<\/strong>, Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo<\/strong>, Pinhel<\/strong> and M\u00eada<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This extraordinary rock art complex is distributed along two main river axes<\/strong>: the C\u00f4a<\/strong>, for about 30 kms before its outfall, and also the Douro<\/strong>, for about 15 kms, on both margins after the mouth of the C\u00f4a. As a result of the recognition of the significance<\/strong> of this group of findings, the C\u00f4a Valley Archaeological Park was created<\/strong> on August 10, 1996<\/strong>, with the mission of managing<\/strong>, preserving<\/strong>, researching<\/strong> and showing<\/strong> to the public the rock art.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
