Coto de las Canteras: the Andalusian Petra you must visit

Near the town of Osuna in Seville lies Coto de las Canteras, a quarry that the Turdetani people began exploiting more than 2,000 years ago and which has now become the largest natural amphitheater in Spain after being restored in 1999 following centuries of neglect. Local sculptor Francisco Valdivia played a key role in shaping the landscape we see today. Between 2004 and 2006, he created a series of sculptures and reliefs modeled after Iberian works.

Lithica: the Menorca project that transformed a quarry into art

Menorca offers more than coves and crystal-clear waters. Near Ciutadella, Lithica has transformed a former limestone quarry into a unique cultural and environmental space. Created to preserve the island’s quarrying heritage, the project combines art, nature and architecture in an extraordinary setting. Today, visitors can explore labyrinths, gardens and walking trails among thousands of limestone blocks, while enjoying exhibitions, performances and one of Menorca’s most distinctive landscapes.
