Vila Nova de Foz Côa is a municipality located in northeastern Portugal, known worldwide for its exceptional prehistoric rock art sites. The Côa Valley, where the town is situated, contains one of the world's most important collections of Paleolithic rock art, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1998. The rock art, dating from 22,000-10,000 BCE, features thousands of engravings depicting various animals and human figures, making it the largest known open-air Paleolithic art gallery in the world.
The town itself, with its traditional Portuguese architecture and layout, serves as a gateway to this remarkable archaeological heritage. The region is also known for its wine production, being part of the Douro wine region, and maintains strong agricultural traditions.
The Côa Museum, situated on a hilltop overlooking the valley, serves as the main interpretative center for the rock art sites and provides visitors with comprehensive information about this unique cultural heritage.
