Núcleo de Arte Rupestre da Fonte Frieira
This is one of the rock art sites in the Valley of the Coa, forming a rare set of this type of art, essentially composed of stone engravings dated from the Upper Paleolithic.
This core consists of two shale rocks with engraved panels: one of them, today submerged, the recording of a slender neck deer, schematic, obtained by incision; on the other are engraved several filiform, Zoomorphic motifs and weapons.
