AMBROSIO CAVE

This deposit is considered one of the most important of the Iberian Peninsula for the study of the upper Paleolithic. Father Breuil was the first to study it in 1911, and the shelter is still being searched. It is a large rock shelter, in a vertical wall over 100 m high. Its location makes it a characteristic archaeological deposit by its manifestations of rock art, and a spectacular stratigraphic sequence that goes from Solutréen to the bronze age. This is to be added to the remains of occupation near the cave in a small shelter in the north-east of the cave as in cave Alta (where excavations took place in 1945 and 1959) and in another deposit with medieval remains and the bronze age, located in the north and called Alto du Cejo.
