- ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE -

Sober’s archaeological heritage includes more than forty Bronze Age rock carvings (petroglyphs). These ancient engravings serve as a gateway into the past, taking visitors on a journey back through Prehistory.

For centuries, our ancestors regarded these Galician petroglyphs as enigmatic expressions of a mythical world, a profound human attempt to explain the mysteries of reality. Today, the legendary folklore attached to these carvings adds a poetic dimension and unique charm to one of the most distinctive forms of Galician art.

Further information on these legendary stones is available on the “O Colado do Vento” cultural association website: click here
