Top 20 Caves サルデーニャでの

The Su Mannau Caves, near Fluminimaggiore, are a unique feature of their extensive cave system, among the oldest in the world. With its two branches, they are also of great archaeological and speleological interest. The right-hand section consists of an extensive karst complex of Cambrian origin and extends over several levels. Some are higher and already fossilized, others deeper and still active. The right-hand branch was formed by the Rapido River and consists of numerous and varied passages and halls, which are the most interesting sight in the cave. The first hall is of great historical importance, not least because of its connections to the nearby Punic-Roman temple of Antas. A must-see!

The evocative Grotta di San Giovanni is a geological and archaeological treasure, as well as the longest vehicle-accessible cave in the world. The cave is accessible from two sides, but the ticket office and information point are located at the main, southern entrance. Entrance is permitted only during cave opening hours. Ticket prices vary depending on the type of visit. You can find all the latest information on the website: https://www.grottasangiovanni.com/.

The Su Mannau Cave is one of the most spectacular karst caves in Sardinia. It extends for approximately 8 kilometers, although the accessible section is limited to a 500-meter path through walkways, rooms, ponds, and underground waterfalls. The first part of the visit leads to the archaeological hall, an ancient underground temple used as a water cult in the pre-Nuragic era, connected to the nearby Temple of Antas. Continuing, you enter a living environment, where stalactites, stalagmites, and alabaster flows are reflected in the clear water, home to the Stenasellus nuragicus, a tiny crustacean unique in the world. The cave is open for guided tours year-round: information and hours at https://www.sumannau.it/
