The Alabastro Rosa quarries are located on the hill of Busca, a few steps from the Eremo Belmonte, and are on private land. You can enter it at your own risk. These are five gorges from which this stone used for ornamental structures was obtained.

The caves are listed on some signs in the village. There are no further signs. The visit is an adventure. You can find alabaster stones and walk around in deeply cut caves. Interesting: The earth is colored red in the environment of the caves.

Superb hidden caves near Busca, on the Hill. In total there should be more than 4 and they are on private land. Visit them carefully and safely.
