Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance opens in a large opening arranged to receive the rays of the sunset and almost three meters above the ground. The height is 1.85 and the depth about three meters, with a width of somewhat more than four48.

Progressione

The entrance, made easier by some steps cut into the rock, is not suitable for everyone.

Altri dettagli

Unfortunately, in the autumn of 2002 it has been verified that part of the upper front has fallen, and there is a serious danger of collapse if it is not remedied beforehand. We think it would be a great loss if this were to happen, since it is one of the cave-hermitages of the Sonsierra worthy of preservation.

Storia

When in 1995 Mª de los Angeles de las Heras and Ildefonso V. Tojal paid a visit to this cave, it was in much better condition than it now presents.
