Storia
The first news we have of this pit is given by Font i Sagué in his Catàlech (1897), referring to the data that Pau Teixidor, doctor of Rodonyà and delegate member of the CEC, contributed to the questionnaire on cavities that he had made the previous year. Thus he records: “A 30 minutes from the village. It has been explored by Pau Teixidor, who found many remains of animals there” (sic).
No further data were ever had about this cavity. In 1971, members of the SIE – CE Àliga explore a small pit 6 metres deep in the area of Puig Francàs, calling it Avenc de la Figuerota and in different hiking routes it appears cited with this name.
Until proven otherwise, we are convinced that this pit is the avenc de Puig Francàs cited by Pau Teixidor. It is located very close to the summit of the same name, beside the path and easy to explore without any equipment, since Pau Teixidor, fond of archaeology and palaeontology, did not have the tools to carry out the exploration of a shaft.
