Rock Art in the Alps - Valcamonica Rock Art

Valcamonica is a valley in the Italian central Alps, almost two hours by car from Milan. Its name took origin from a pre-Indo-European people named Camunni, conquered by Rome in 16 BC.

Hundreds of thousands of figures are present in Valcamonica Rock Art, one of the richest open-air engraved areas in Europe.

Here you can take a virtual visit to Valcamonica: you can start by taking a look to some figures and scenes, then to the most important sites, soon after trying to understand the different prehistoric phases and styles. And more many detailed records are available from the euroPreArt database.

Finally some notes about Naquane, the astonishing National Park of engraved rocks at Capo di Ponte, will be useful for your trip, virtual or may be real….
