I wouldn't have expected it. The cave is huge and the acoustics are really impressive. You should definitely see it

The "Ear of Dionysus," which, according to legend, Caravaggio named it. It is said that the tyrant Dionysus I of Syracuse secretly eavesdropped on the conversations of his prisoners through this cave, and since it is shaped like a donkey's ear, Caravaggio probably found the name extremely fitting.
