With more than 2,000 years of history, this impressive cave has been exploited since the 6th century BC for the extraction of iron ore, dating back to Roman times in the second Iron Age. Since the 1960s, it has ceased to be exploited to become a tourist site of great interest, with a museum and the possibility of guided speleological tours for those who love this activity.
