Up to the North of Spain, in Cantabria, Altamira, place of great importance a hundred thousand years ago, let us know how prehistoric days were when Mary, Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola's daughter, discovers in 1879, among the excavations her father was doing, the prehistoric paintings. Since then the Cave of Altamira became the paradigm of rupestrian art all over the world. In the seventies, due to the excessive increase of visitors that imperil the paintings, strong restricted measures were taken. Since 1982, only 8.500 people per year are allowed to visit the Cave. Then, the idea of an Altamira's reproduction was born. The "Altamira Project", a very important architectural unit being managed and promoted by a partnership created on that purpose is ordered to the renowned architect Navarro Baldeweg. In 1999, being at a new millennium's door, Altamira will receive again all the visitors looking for prehistoric times.
