historical heritage

The Cova de les Finestres is located in the Barranc del Pont Trencat, in the municipality of Alfafara. These artificial caves from the Andalusian period look like windows from the outside and are carved in the middle of a steep cliff, generally in river valleys and ravines. It consists of 12 window caves, precisely carved into the hard limestone rock. These windows, looking out into the void, are between 4 and 10 meters high, on a large natural shelter. From a distance, their presence arouses curiosity and intrigue, and questions arise: What secrets are they hiding? Are there rooms behind them? What was its function?
