CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS MUSEUMS, INTERPRETATION CENTRES AND OBSERVATORIES

The site now occupied by the Cave and Museum was inhabited from the Middle Palaeolithic to Roman times, when various collapses buried it. It was rediscovered in 1857. A virtual archaeologist and a guide explain to visitors how and when the cave was formed and the customs, crafts and tools of the primitive humans who inhabited it. The Cave and Museum are in a cavity formed by water erosion, one of the seven longest conglomerate caves in the world, with 3,590 metres of open corridors and a subterranean river.
