Grosio Rock Carvings Park
Parco delle Incisioni Rupestri di Grosio
A prehistoric rock art site on a slope in Valtellina, with more than 5,000 carvings of human figures and symbols on large rocks, plus castle ruins nearby.
The Grosio Rock Carvings Park lies about 35 km south of Bormio. Its centrepiece is a glacier-polished boulder called the Rupe Magna, which bears about 5,000 carvings of human figures, warriors and geometric patterns from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. It is one of the largest rock-art boulders in the Alps. The park also has ruins of two medieval castles, the New Castle and the Old Castle, which overlook the Valtellina valley. Entry costs about EUR 5. Opening seasons and hours are limited, so check before you go.
