    The zoomorphic carvings of Siega Verde occupy more than a kilometer of stones on the banks of the Águeda and are the most important open-air site on the Iberian Peninsula. They are part of the Vale de Coa complex, in Portugal, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

    Horses, bears, goats and other species extinct on the peninsula such as the woolly rhinoceros, reindeer and bison are represented in the carvings. The site is fenced for its preservation, but an interpretation room has been built that details the life of the inhabitants of the area in the Palaeolithic.

    Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the open-air zoomorphic site of Siega Verde is the most important of its kind in the entire Iberian Peninsula.

    The stone carvings that can be seen represent animals including horses, bears and goats, which makes it curious that some have existed in these lands when they are now extinct. The site itself is not open to the public so that they can be preserved, but very close is the Interpretation Classroom.

    Near this bridge is the Siega Verde Site, which is considered the most important outdoor Paleolithic art complex in Castilla y León and the most outstanding in the Iberian Peninsula.
