Resum

Peña de Candamo, discovered and explored at the very beginning of the 20th century, was recently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The latest research, since 2007, has revealed new decorated zones, as well as unknown paintings and engravings in the known zones. The other objectives of the interdisciplinary research are: an archaeological study of the floors, an analysis of the pigments (already begun by Raman spectroscopy), a 3D reconstruction of the entire cavity (achieved in 2009), and a study of the environmental and conservational parameters.
