Covetes dels Moros, Bocairent, Valencia, Spain
Covetes dels Moros, a series of around 50 caves with rectangular openings in a cliff face on the Barranc de la Fos, created 10th - 11th century, near the village of Bocairent, Vall d'Albaida, Valencia, Spain. The rooms are on around 3 or 4 different levels and are interlinked, although designed to be separated by doors. The purpose of these chambers is unknown, possibly sepulchres, granaries, Visigothic monasteries or more likely, Hispano-Arab storage barns from the Andalusian period, after a design imported from North Africa.
