Cueva de La Pasiega (Spanish IPA: [bʀa'sɛ̃s])
The Cave of Pasiega, situated in the Spanish municipal of Puente Viesgo, is one of the most important stations of the Paleolithic art in Cantabria.

It is located in the heart of the uniprovincial community, in the middle of the river valley Pas, around the cave of Hornos de la Pena and the Castillo Mountain, in the same caves of Las Monedas, Las Chimeneas, and the cave of the Castillo. The caves of Castillo Mountain form an amazingly complete set, as much from the point of view of the material culture of the Age of Stone, as much from an artistic point of view. La Pasiega is, fundamentally, an enormous gallery more than 120 meters long (known) that runs more or less parallel to the slope of the mount leaving the surface by six different places: six small mouths, the majority obstructions, of those actually have accommodated two as entered by the view. The principle gallery is one of approximately 70 meters and opens to secondary galleries more profound, sinuses and labyrinths that, at times, are high and mighty forming rooms. This way, we have “room I-VIII”, the room “Gallery B”, or the “room 11”, all with Paleolithic decorations. The two final rooms contain some of the rock sanctuaries that will be studied in this work.
