Chãs d’Égua, a historic village with ancient origins, stands in a valley where the ancient inhabitants would call out to each other for protection. The region holds an archaeological treasure: more than 100 rocks engraved with cave art from the Neolithic to the Iron Age, testimonies of ancient rituals and symbolism.

This wealth led to the creation of the Rock Art Interpretation Centre, making Chãs d’Égua an essential point for anyone wanting to explore prehistory between the Tagus and the Lower Côa.
