The Val Camonica Rock Drawings are the world’s largest collection of prehistoric petroglyphs, including over 200,000 catalogued items. The oldest examples date from the Mesolithic era, around 8,000-6,000 BCE. They are thought to be the work of nomadic hunters who recorded their activities while passing by. In addition, the valley holds petroglyphs from later ages including the Neolithic, Chalcolitic, Bronze, Iron , Roman, and Medieval. The large assortment, close proximity and historical depth of the collection are impressive by any measure.
The Val Camonica rock drawings became Italy’s first entry in the UNESCO World Heritage list when they were added in 1979.
