knowledge of the underground world, revealing the secrets of the formation and evolution of karst cavities
and illustrating all the characteristics of the main speleothems (stalactites, stalagmites, columns…).
A fantastic journey to discover the magic of the subterranean world!

The visit continues in the “Sala dell’Altare” (Altar Hall), a small evocative side environment where you will
