A short distance from the Chiosse house, a little higher up the slope you can glimpse this beautiful Grotta dello Zoccolaro, so called in the past centuries, when it served as a shelter for pigs or sheep, also thanks to its considerable size, roughly 5 meters by 5 meters by 15 deep. We got there thanks to Francesco who created two paths, not very easy at the moment, to get there in ten minutes from the main path. Given the considerable spaciousness of the cave, it is also an excellent refuge in the case of sudden storms in that area which is quite devoid of shelter. The second name, that is Grotta del Cuore, comes from the shape of the entrance to the cave, remarkably similar to the shape of a large heart.

In this cave, in the area called Trina del Monte, Potecariello, the hermit from Massaquano who lived in the first half of the last century and who left many signs of his passage on our mountains, often spent the night. In this cave, unfortunately poorly maintained today due to the carelessness and neglect of men, he who loved beauty and art even in its absolute simplicity, left to posterity on the upper part of the entrance to the cave a beautiful "Holy Family" carved in the rock and then colored in a simple but lasting way.

Descent towards the Minerva cave

Googleによる翻訳•原文を表示

Near the tower, in a crack in the ground, you can go down to the Grotta di Minerva or delle Sirene, where it is said that Partenope found refuge here when she was far from the island of Li Galli. The reflection of the sea, together with the reflections of light that penetrate from its openings, amplify the mystical aura of the place. Climbing routes are traced on the external walls of the cave overlooking the sea. The descent to the cave is not suitable for everyone, spurs of rock, slippery in places, force you to hold on to ropes set up for sections of mountaineering difficulty. Along the rocky wall of descent it is said that a rock epigraph was carved in the Oscan language that mentions the names of those who worked on the landing in the 2nd century BC.
