Karst formation complex formed by the erosive action of an underground watercourse discovered in 1934 by Francesco Saverio Majellaro from Biseglia. Evidence of human presence has been found there from the Middle Paleolithic to the Bronze Age. In 1955, a femur of the Neanderthal species was found as well as numerous animal remains, primitive stone tools and Neolithic paintings. Having remained in a complete state of abandonment and neglect, the caves have been revamped by the Scout Group of Bisceglie since 1975 and made accessible to the public since 1990 with the approval and collaboration of the Municipality of Bisceglie and the Archaeological Superintendence of Puglia. In 1997 the University of Siena was also involved in several excavation campaigns which brought to light a Neolithic mat.
