cave Art
Of all the archaeological sites with
cave art that were declared part of a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, the
Roca dels Moros (Moors’ Rock) of
El Cogul (Les Garrigues) is consi-
dered one of the most important on
the Iberian Peninsula. There, it is
possible to see 45 figures carved in
stone which form part of a dance
scene that has been interpreted as
the performance of a phallic dance.
Different inscriptions show that this
site also served as a sanctuary during
Iberian and Roman times. Other arc-
haeological sites with cave art in the
Lands of Lleida can be found at L’Albi
and Les Borges Blanques (Les Garri-
gues), Alfés and La Granja d’Escarp
(El Segrià), Vilanova de Meià, Os de
Balaguer, Alòs de Balaguer, Artesa de
Segre and Camarasa (La Noguera),
Peramola (L’Alt Urgell), Tremp (El
Pallars Jussà) and Bellver de Cerda-
nya (La Cerdanya).
