Description
Morphology
It is a large rock shelter with maximum measurements of 100 m wide, 15 m deep and about 7 m high.
Speleothems
The falling waters of the Vilaró torrent have formed in the rock shelter a large column of tufa that is partially covered with limestone concretions. Endogenous filtrations (some of these have been channeled) have formed incipient stalactites and various crusts.
History
Known since remote times.
