Historic Sites of Monfragüe

This collection explores the human history of Monfragüe National Park, spanning from prehistoric times to the mid-20th century. The sites include the Abrigo del Castillo’s schematic cave paintings and the remains of a 9th-century fortress built by the Umayyads. Roman influence is visible at the Cerro Gimio watchtower, which provided strategic views over the Tagus and Tiétar rivers. Later history is represented by traditional rural ruins and the hidden ovens used by post-Civil War Maquis guerrillas in the dense Mediterranean scrubland.
