Peña Tú

Peña Tú or "The Heathen's Head" is a limestone rock with a series of carvings and paintings from the Bronze Age located on top of a hill overlooking the Cantabrian coastline. The main figure probably represents a man in his burial cloth with a sword pointing down suggesting this particular place is the burial site of an important tribe chief or a great warrior. In fact, the whole top of the hill is a necropolis with over 50 tumuli or burial mounds dating from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.
