Caratteristiche

Località

On the BV-2133 road heading towards the Torre de Claramunt, just past kilometre 1, turn left onto a track where after 30 metres we find the building of the gas pipeline's control station; from here we head E, sometimes along a path and other times along a track, over a distance of 150 metres, until reaching the abandoned quarry where the mouth of the two cavities opens: the one situated further W is the forat de la Nit, and the one situated further E is the cova de les Sitges.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The mouth opens at the foot of the small wall left by the rock extraction of the old quarry. A vertical fissure 2.65 m high and 0.50 m wide leads us to a drop of less than one metre; here the gallery becomes wider, and the height varies depending on the amount of formation hanging from the ceiling; the cavity ends after a few metres.

Storia

Discovered through the action of machines working to extract travertine (popularly known as turo) in a small quarry at the Torre de Claramunt, currently abandoned.
