Overview

Séfar is the largest troglodyte city in the world and the largest open-air museum in the world of the Neolithic period with its 15,000 rock engravings and drawings: a treasure of humanity

It has been listed as a World Heritage Site since 1982.

Crossing a labyrinth of rocks with narrow and impassable roads reveals this extraordinary natural city. Known as the largest open-air museum of prehistoric art in the world, the site contains tens of thousands of drawings, engravings and cave paintings discovered in the 1950s by the famous French explorer and prehistoric man Henri Rothe. .

These paintings, some of which date back more than 12,000 years, mainly depict animals, hunts and scenes of daily life, showing that this hostile place was not always an uninhabited desert.
