The Cueva de la Serreta is located in the municipality of Cieza, in
the region of Murcia (Spain). It is a cave located in one of the walls
of the spectacular Almadenes Canyon, at the bottom of which the Segura
River runs. Inside there are some paintings of Post-Palaeolithic Rock
Art. This panel shows a kind of figure with a human shape but which
has been interpreted as some kind of divinity or shaman. These
paintings were declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1998.

We want to thank Joaquín Salmerón, Director of the Cieza City
Council’s Historical Heritage Service, for the facilities he has given
us and for his cooperation.
