The Pla de Savassona, in the heart of the natural area, houses an interesting archaeological site that includes various rocks with engravings and Neolithic, Iron Age, Iberian and medieval remains. The one known as the stone of Man, for example, presents an anthropomorphic petroglyph, while the stone of the Witches presents engravings in the shape of a horseshoe and a cross. Under the Sacrifice stone, one of the largest in the site, two tombs have been found.
