Cantabrian Cave Art

Cantabrian Cave Art refers to prehistoric paintings and engravings found in caves in northern Spain, particularly in the Cantabrian Mountains. Dating back around 35,000 years, these artworks predominantly feature animals like bison, deer, and horses, showcasing the creativity and beliefs of early humans. The art is often characterized by its naturalistic style and use of vibrant colors. Important sites include Altamira and El Castillo, which provide insight into the social and cultural life of our ancestors. This art is considered one of the earliest forms of human expression and highlights the connection between early humans and their environment.
