Núcleo de Arte Rupestre da Faia
A core composed of figures engraved in granite, representing two opposing bovids and a sequence of four bovid heads pointing toward the ground, which are associated with schematic paintings from recent prehistory. Certain painted lines add unengraved details, suggesting the hypothesis that some of the elements are Paleolithic. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (1998) and a National Monument by IGESPAR, part of the Côa Valley Archaeological Park.
