Descrizione
Morfologia
Formed by a single gallery slightly ascending in its first half and then continuing practically flat until the end. The first section has a fairly high ceiling, 10 or 12 metres; but a little beyond the halfway point of the route, the ceiling gradually lowers until it meets the floor. The entrance-to-end route (elevation A-B) calculated from the most recent and most accurate survey gives a total of 56 m. Until now it was credited with a route of 68 m.
Storia
Known since time immemorial. Puig i Larraz already mentions it in 1896 and Norbert Font i Sagué includes it in 1897 in the Catálech Espeleològich de Catalunya.
It is a Middle Palaeolithic site, excavated in 1933 and 1969.
According to a popular legend, it is said that a bishop of Perpinyà had been hidden there. Another legend refers to some Christians hidden from the Muslim invasion.
