The “Abric Lambert” cave paintings are named after Lambert Olivert, a resident of Cullera who discovered them.
Prehistoric mural art adorns this cave shelter, which is located on the north-west side of the mountain of Cullera, a privileged location, which has been used as a human settlement since ancient times.
The mountain shelter contains a panel with several figures painted in a dark red shade, using cruciform and comb-shaped figures, and several vertical and horizontal lines that have been interpreted as depictions of animals and human figurations, all rendered in the “Schematic Art” style which was developed in the País Valenciano from the Late Neolithic to the Bronze Age.
The pictorial manifestations in the Abric Lambert were most probably made between the Chalcolithic and the Bronze Age.
