The CAVE OF “EL TOLL” is located in Moià. It is one of the richest prehistoric caves of Europe in fauna of the QUATERNARY, in WÜRM glaciations: hippopotamus, rhinoceros, bear of the caverns, lion, hyena, ox, etc.

Some remains of fire and flint tools from the Mousterian demonstrate us the human presence of the Neanderthal man during the Middle Paleolithic (between 100.000 and 40.000 years old) in the region of Moianès, in the county of Bages.

Everything we have found in the prehistoric caves in Catalonia, in relation to the EPIPALEOLITHIC, to the NEOLITHIC and to the AGE OF BRONZE allow us to see how our people kept on creating their path along the history.
The life of the man has been changing. The life of men has gone from being a harvester to a farmer, from a traditional life to an important change using new materials that are completely unknown for them.

We have a very interesting example of the remains found in the cave of “EL TOLL” in Moià. We have found a masculine and robust human being, not much tall and branquimorf, a man with alpine features. We have found his burial, too. This person was found with a metallic brooch of centreuropean origin.
