Cueva Victoria, Paleontological cave in Cabezo de San Ginés, Spain.
The cave system extends through six large chambers and multiple galleries, spanning between two and three kilometers beneath the surface of Cartagena.
During the Lower Pleistocene period, this cave functioned as a den for hyenas, as evidenced by coprolites and bones with distinctive bite marks.
Scientists have discovered remains from 54 vertebrate species and human artifacts that rank among the earliest findings in Western Europe.
The Sala Unión chamber stretches 150 meters in length and offers clear visibility through natural and artificial openings created by past mining activities.
The cave underwent manganese mining operations in the late 19th century, which modified its natural structures but created additional access points.
