Cabeço das Pombas

Located on a granite outcrop, in the parish of Pinheiros, the rock engravings of Cabeço das Pombas constitute an artistic-religious manifestation of great importance, with supposed origins in the Bronze Age, although their exact symbolism is unknown. It is believed that they were associated with a ceremonial cult. The figures inscribed on the rock are grouped into sets, engraved at different times, the oldest being the central one.
