Hidden in the forest is a cave accessible via stairs, which looks more like a ridge from the outside. The hole is certainly 10 meters deep, but is blocked off by a fence.

The Cave of Sant Martí is located on the hill of the same name. It is believed to have been used as a place of worship by the first Christians of the Roman city of Pol·lèntia.
The first documented data appear in 1268. It is entered via a 12m high staircase.
Inside there is an old well, now covered, two semicircular medieval altars and a ribbed vault dedicated to Saint Martin and Saint George, with high stone carvings.
The first shows cutting off half of his cloak to protect a poor man, revealed to be Jesus, and the second in St. George as he slays the dragon.
Last winter there were some landslides and the Diocese of Mallorca, owner of the grotto, keeps it closed for safety reasons.
