Ancient relics: the labyrinth of Mogor

Discover one of only five known labyrinth-style petroglyphs in Galicia, the unique and mysterious Labyrinth of Mogor.

The Labyrinth of Mogor, one of the three petroglyph groups visible, is located in Mogor, a parish in Marín, Pontevedra. The labyrinth is a long, narrow stone with wide and deep grooves around a hollow. However, it is missing the central cavity and the extensions. The Labyrinth of Mogor is one of only five known examples, all in Pontevedra, that exhibit a typical design not common in Galician rock art. The Labyrinth of Mogor is quite worn and decayed, making it visible only under certain light conditions.
