La Sarga

The La Sarga site is situated at the head of the Barranc de la Foradà (mountainous terrain of La Serra dels Plans), in the grounds of the Masia de La Sarga (Alcoi, Alicante). It is comprised of three shelters in which three artistic styles can be observed: Macroschematic, Levantine and Schematic. In the first shelter we can see a group of wounded deer, beautifully executed in Levantine style, and superimposed on Macroschematic motifs. In the same shelter and also of Levantine design it is possible to distinguish two trees – a motif depicted only rarely – and various human figures in what has been interpreted as a scene of flogging. In the second shelter there is a very large, Macroschematic anthropomorphic form, notable for the two horns protruding from its head; and also various meandering designs. Visits to these shelters are arranged by the Museu Arqueològic Municipal Camil Visedo Moltó d’Alcoi.
