A rock shelter on Cullera Mountain (Muntanya de l'Or) preserving schematic-style cave paintings discovered in 1995, with red figures including cruciform motifs and schematic human representations. It is part of the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Arc, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and since 2020 it is reached via a pedestrian walkway.
On the Muntanya de l'Or, the mountain crowning Cullera, lies the Abric Lambert, a rock shelter with schematic-style cave paintings discovered in 1995. On the rock face you can make out red figures: cruciform motifs and very stylised human representations.
Why it matters
The site is part of the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Arc of the Iberian Peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These are marks thousands of years old that tie this mountain to an artistic phenomenon spread across the whole eastern Spanish coast.
How to get there
Since 2020 it has been reached by a pedestrian walkway that makes the shelter easy to access. It's a free, open-air plan that pairs naturally with the climb to the lighthouse and the Cabo viewpoint for a morning on the mountain with sea views.
