Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity is 20 metres long in total. The first 10 metres appear to be a large rock shelter, at the end of which opens a gallery one and a half metres in diameter and 10 metres in length.

Concrezioni

The walls of the gallery are formed of calcite crystals.

Storia

Due to its location near the Torre de Mallabecs it is presumed to have been known since ancient times, although the first written reference to it was made by F. Rubinat in 1986. He himself had already located it in 1977.
