Abstract

After being declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, La Sarga has become the paradigm of prehistoric rock art in the Mediterranean arc of theIberian Peninsula. Its painted images, which belong to three artistic horizons Macroesquematic, Levantine and Schematic are exceptional and, in somecases, unique. The measures adopted for their study, conservation and dissemination have served as a model for other rock art sites.
