Descrizione
Morfologia
The cave has the appearance of a large rock shelter 5 metres high by 6 metres wide. The cavity has two galleries: one in the form of a joint 11 metres long, and the other with a low ceiling that crosses from side to side and comes out to the exterior with a length of 13 metres. In total the cave presents 24 metres of passage.
Storia
Known since time immemorial. Joan Ferraté already mentions it in his work Espeleologia de les comarques tarragonines (1918), making mention of the stay of Elionor d'Aragó, sister of Jaume II d'Urgell, el Dissortat, the last count of Urgell and candidate for the Crown of Aragon during the Compromís de Casp.
At the mouth of the cave we find a plaque that refers to the stay in this cave as a penitent of the princess Elionor d'Aragó i Montferrat or Elionor d'Urgell (? 1378 – Ermita de Sant Joan (Montblanc), Conca de Barberà, 28 de maig de 1430), infanta of Urgell, who retired to live as a hermit. In the town of Montblanc she is popularly known as Nialó, a contraction of N'Elionor.
