The Roca Benedí cave paintings are one of the westernmost examples of Levantine rock art on the Iberian Peninsula. They are located within the Barranco de la Hoz Seca, near Jaraba, in the province of Zaragoza.
The paintings depict a hunting scene with two human figures (a man and a woman) and two animals, painted in black.

At the exit of a bend appears the detour that goes up to the cave paintings of Roca Benedí, they are five figures of Levantine art, in the Mesolithic period, seven thousand years old. On the limestone rock you can see deer, a woman, an archer and schematic black lines. The paintings are on an exceptional balcony of the canyon. The visit of the paintings is optional, the path goes up to the site and goes down again to the path of the canyon.
