The Capellades prehistoric park is a cultural facility located in the Cinglera del Capelló, the cliff on which the town of Capellades sits, in the Catalan region of l'Anoia.

This area, in addition to its geological and landscape value, has great archaeological value, due to the presence of around twenty sites from various periods.

The cliff itself is one of the park's attractions. Its origin is in the action of carbonated waters that, by fossilizing plant colonies, form fall travertines, a type of fossil waterfall that is locally called "capellons". Its growth formed cornices, grottoes and caves that were used as shelter by groups of prehistoric settlers.

One of these caves constitutes the best preserved Paleolithic archaeological site in the complex, known as "l'Abric Romaní", used as a refuge by groups of Neanderthals and which has been excavated since 1983.
