Description

On a rocky slope north of the city, and opposite the medieval quarter and on the eastern slope of the Barranc de Fos are the so-called Covetes dels Moros.

It is not known when they were built or what they were used for, although they have been used as a shelter.

They are 53 artificial hollows excavated in the rock. They are located at a great height so their access was made by climbing as shown by the recesses of the hollows. The current access is by means of a newly installed stairway.

In the interior they are of small height what prevents to remain erect. They have different interior floors, and some of them have been connected to each other.
