Small concavities about 10 m long inside a rock shelter in Sant Llorenç del Munt, known since time immemorial.

Characteristics

Location

This small cave is located beside the path that leads from the Castellassa de Can Torres to the Castellassa del Dalmau, passing through the Mal Pas de les Maringes; beneath a large cliff face that juts out a little, where the tone of the rock is quite reddish and approximately halfway along the path between the two Castellasses.

Description

Morphology

The cavity is arranged in the form of a rock shelter about 20 metres long. Further to the S, a second rock shelter adjoining the previous one forms another gallery of 5 metres in a S direction.

Progression

Entering from the N side one can continue for a scant 3 metres where we find a passage that leads back out to the exterior, but it is difficult to move through. In the second rock shelter, in a S direction, we also find a passage that leads to the exterior.

History

Known since time immemorial.
