The Tito Bustillo Cave, discovered in 1968, is one of the most important cave complexes of Palaeolithic Art. In July 2008 it was declared a World Heritage Site, along with other Cantabrian caves, for its extraordinary representations.
The need to maintain its environmental balance for conservation and the difficulty of access to most of the artistic ensembles led to the creation of the Tito Bustillo Art Centre.
Emblematic places such as the spectacular Camarín de las Vulvas, the Galería de los Caballos and the mysterious Antropomorfo, as well as the essential Panel of the Policromos, now have a unique setting where they can be contemplated.
Throughout the tour of the permanent exhibition, visitors can find out when the cave was discovered, its geological value, who inhabited it and what the rock art samples preserved inside it are like.
