Abstract
Analysis of three sacred rocks located near the Ermita del Cancho, in Navas del Madroño, Cáceres, Spain: a rock-altar, a rock-throne and a hypogeal room interpreted as a possible mithraeum. These sacred rocks confirm the interest of the «sacra saxa» of Extremadura to document the sacred landscape. Consequently, these monuments form a part of our Archaeological Heritage.
