The Archer Shelter of the Closed Callejones is a rocky shelter located in the protected landscape of the Pinares de Rodeno, within the municipality of Albarracín, in the Province of Teruel (Aragón, Spain). Inside there is a 9 m wide frieze of cave paintings that preserves two panels with thirteen Levantine-style figures representing a hunting scene, a female figure and bovids, equids and a goat. Linear paint applied with reddish and violet flat inks was used in its execution. There is a third panel on the far right with various anthropomorphs and quadrupeds, but it is barely noticeable.
In the center of the shelter is the representation of the archer in a dark purple color, which gives the cavity its name. The archer figure measures 19 cm in length. The character is naked, in a horizontal position with the intention of shooting the bow. His elongated head is covered with a kind of helmet or tall hat. The archer rests his bent legs on a small natural edge of the wall.
On the left end of the shelter a very stylized human figure, probably female, has been painted in a reddish-brown colour.
The paintings are probably Neolithic (approx. 5000-2500 BC). They were scientifically documented by the archaeologist from Teruel, Martín Almagro Basch, who published a first study in 1953. They were found just over 500 meters away from La Cocinilla del Obispo, another shelter, whose cave paintings had been known since at least the last decade of the XIX century. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrigo_del_Arquero_de_los_Alleys_Closed
Also great climbs and hiking in the area.
