Altamira
A cave on the northern slope of the Cantabrian Mountains in northern Spain. Cave paintings were discovered in 1879, and a 1902 investigation confirmed that they dated to the Late Paleolithic period. The paintings, which use red and black to depict animals such as wild buffaloes, wild boars, horses, and deer, also use techniques such as pointillism and shading. Registered as a World Heritage Site in 1985 and 2008.
