Priceless art dating from the Stone Age has been damaged in forest fires in northwestern Spain, some deliberately lit, officials said on Friday. Colour paintings and carvings on rocks, known as petroglyphs, of wildlife and geometric patterns dating back about 4,000 years, have been charred and blackened in fires in Campo Lameiro and Cotobade in northwestern Galicia.

It is too early to determine whether some of the art, considered a national treasure, has been damaged beyond repair, Mendez said.
