The Arma delle Mànie is one of the most evocative prehistoric archaeological sites in the Finale area. The large stone vault, clearly visible from afar on the Mànie Plateau, encloses a sequence of archaeological layers that document human occupation between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic.

Arma delle Manie is a cave underneath a great osteria. The cave is one of the largest in the Finale area and of great archaeological importance. They have found remains that prove the presence of neanderthal men about 70.000 years ago. These find you see in the archaeological museum in Finalborgo. But the cave was use long after that and you can see some remain of what used to be a mill still inside. It is not on the path but certainly worth the detour.

The restaurant in La Grotta is highly recommended for rest!
