Unfortunately we couldn't get in because we had to make an appointment and we didn't. But it is one of those places that you should definitely return to and get to know because all the surroundings and the history that surrounds it are worth it.

The cave was formed over centuries due to the action of water. During the War of Independence, it served as a natural burial site for French soldiers. Inside, you can admire beautiful stalactite formations along a 500-meter route. 😊
