    Former quarry along the Lanza. The narrow entrances do not suggest the expanse in the interior, with large vaulted rooms connected by small passages and reflected in geometric perspective games on the pools. Here is the sweat and sacrifice of three centuries stonemasons a sandstone monument of infinite beauty emerged, which is today rightly recognized as a natural and cultural heritage.

      Here, 25 million years ago there was the sea, now you can admire the ancient sandstone caves.
      They are located, in succession, along the path n ° 6 of the park, in the segment between "la Folla di Malnate" and "mulino del Trotto" in Cagno.
      Until the beginning of the 20th century sandstone blocks were excavated and extracted.

        These quarries were formed about 25 million years ago from what were once sea beds
