Altamira is a cave, located near the town of Santillana del Mar in the region of Cantabria (north of Spain), famous for its Upper Paleolithic (a period between 40.000 and 10.000 years ago, in some contexts also called the "late stone age") cave paintings. These include drawings and polychrome rock paintings of wild mammals and human hands. The paintings in Altamira are particularly famous as they were the first prehistoric cave paintings to be discovered in Spain.

The cave has since been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. ... read more >>>
