History
The first news known about the Graller de Potestats was provided by members of the GE Badalona who explored it during the 1962 campaign at Serradell. The first and only known survey of the cavity was carried out by members of the Secció d'Espeleologia Gelera (Barcelona) around 1971 and was not published until 1979.
Thomas Casajuana, in his, and possibly last speleological writing (2000), makes a brief reference to a campaign by members of the Club Muntanyenc Barcelonès (Llopis, Thomas and others) carried out in the Serradell area in 1946 and which had remained practically unpublished. Among the cavities explored he mentions the Graller de Potestats, without providing any data.
