The Cova Remigia is a rock shelter with paintings belonging to Levantine art. The site was discovered in 1934 and its paintings are more than 7,000 years old. The shelter lies at an altitude of 920 metres, within the municipality of Ares del Maestrat. In 1998 UNESCO included the cave, together with the rest of the rock art of the Mediterranean arc, in the World Heritage list. That international recognition confirmed the importance of the paintings and placed them among the most outstanding cultural assets of the territory. The shelter thus preserves a direct testimony of the societies that inhabited the area millennia ago.
