The first room was the cave bear’s refuge. The marks of their claws are still visible.
Prehistoric man settled here from the Neolithic period and the caves were inhabited until the Middle Ages. The concretion of the following rooms is wonderful. At the end, a suspension bridge over a mirror of clear water leads you to the final show: the Aragonite “chandelier,” the largest set of aragonite crystals in the world, enhanced by a play of light. A true wonder of nature!
