Visit the rock engravings of Cabeço Doves - Pinheiros (Tabuaço)

The rock carvings of Cabeço Doves are present in a granite outcrop in the parish of Pines, and are a manifestation of artistic and religious importance, believed to date from the Bronze Age, not knowing, precisely, their symbolism.
This would then have a place of worship, still dubbed the Cabeço Shrine of the Doves. The figures are grouped into sets, recorded at different times, with the oldest ramiforme the central and right panel assembly, with the exception of the representation of a guy who is notoriously later.
