Petroglyphs of Oca
The petroglyphs of Oca representan one of the complexes arqueológicos more unique of Ames and are a valioso testimony of the manifestaciones artísticas desarrolladas through the comunidades prehistóricas that habitaron este territorio. Situados in the parish of Bugallido, estos grabados rupestres forman parte of the proyecto Compostela Rupestre, iniciativa destinada a poner in valor algunos of the main sites of arte prehistórico of the surroundings compostelano.
The complex stands out through the presencia of motivos circulares and figuras laberínticas grabadas sobre the roca, elementos característicos of the arte rupestre atlántico. Estas representaciones, realizadas ago miles of years, siguen despertando the interés of investigadores and visitors debido a su complejidad and a the interrogantes that plantean sobre the creencias and formas of vida of the sociedades prehistóricas.
The surroundings natural in the that se localizan contribuye a enriquecer the experiencia of the visita, permitiendo contemplar the grabados in a landscape that preserves buena parte of su carácter traditional. The combinación entre heritage archaeological and nature convierte este space in a place especially attractive for quienes buscan conocer the pasado more remoto of Galicia.
The petroglyphs of Oca are a excelente oportunidad for acercarse a a parte fundamental of the historia of Ames and descubrir the riqueza patrimonial that se esconde entre the montes and ways of the municipality.
