Top 9 Caves アウレッタでの

Absolutely worth a visit, a town that has remained authentic and is unfortunately depopulating, but which has so much to offer.

I was fortunate enough to meet Francesco from the Pro Loco tourist office (find the number outside the church, or ask in town), who guided us for about an hour to discover this sacred cave. An unexpected and truly worthwhile experience with several surprises, absolutely worth it.

Surrounded by dense beech woods, Sant'Angelo a Fasanella is a village located on the south-eastern slopes of the Alburni mountains. In addition to the spectacular surrounding nature, the Grotta di San Michele Arcangelo is not to be missed.

Karst sinkhole located in the territory of Petina, it is one of the many naturalistic attractions of the Alburni Mountains, in the National Park. The cave is more than 200 meters deep and it is necessary to have adequate speleological equipment. There is a picnic area outside.

The Grotta di Zi Carluccio is a karst cave located in the territory of Sicignano degli Alburni, in the Alburni Mountains. It seems that its name comes from a local character who used it as a refuge and hiding place. Inside, various limestone formations, such as stalactites and stalagmites make it interesting from a speleological point of view.

A must-see in Sant'Angelo a Fasanella is the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, an ancient structure housed within a large cave. Among the stalactites and stalagmites are the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, sculptures, 14th-century frescoes, and the marble statue of San Michele Arcangelo.

There is a picnic area in this shady spot. You couldn't go into the cave, we only saw a deep crevice in the rock that you couldn't climb down into.

Interesting church cave, pleasantly cool.
