The Rock Engravings National Park is located in Capo di Ponte, a town in the heart of Valle Camonica. It was established in 1955 as the first Italian archaeological park, for the purpose of its protection and enhancement. The Park preserves 104 rocks, in sandstone smoothed by glaciers, engraved with divine and heroic representations. The site was recognized in 1979 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its uniqueness and importance. The park developed in different historical eras: from the Upper Paleolithic to the Iron Age up to the Roman and Medieval ages, the latter considered as a post-Camunan period. The Site offers the possibility of guided tours and educational activities for families, in order to introduce children to the enthralling history of rock art.
