Asset Overview

Discovered on an April afternoon in 1963, after an explosion of a quarry, the Escoural Cave proved to be an unavoidable site for the history of archeology in Portugal. What the cavel represents today transcends its tourist value, and assumes itself as an international reference for Paleolithic art as the westernmost point of Europe with such artistic representations of Prehistory. The cave art of the Escoural Cave fits in chronologically between 20,000 and 18,000 years a. C. In addition to the engravings, paintings depicting various figures from aurochs to equines as well as geometrical are also known. This is the 3D model of motifs 23 to 26, depicting several bovines, a hybrid figure as well as several undetermined strokes. This is one of the main panels in the Escoural Cave, occupying a central spot inside this natural cavity.
