Description
Morphology
The cave is formed by a single gallery 9.32 metres in development, with an average width of about 2 metres, ending by dividing into two parallel conduits of 4.7 metres and 3 metres respectively, which communicate through a low impassable passage. In this part of the cave, the ceiling drops rapidly until it closes it off.
History
Known since time immemorial by the people of the country, it served as a hiding place where they kept food supplies in different wars, in order to avoid the plundering of soldiers.
Explored in 1931 by Manuel Bassa i Armengol (Centre Excursionista Catalunya).
