Description
Morphology
It is a rather atypical Foradada, formed by a large opening within the hill itself that leads out to the precipice through a rock bridge. A steep ramp descends to the chamber where we enjoy the splendid rock bridge overlooking the drop of the Morral d'en Bens.
History
Known since time immemorial. The Foradada del Morral d'en Bens became the refuge and natural watchtower of one of the groups of maquis who operated in the massif during the early years of Francoism. As a sign of the maquis' stay, accessories from their weapons and a pile of identity cards, which they must have used on their journeys to the cities, were left in the cavity.
