Las Caldas cave, Protected cave in Oviedo, Spain

Las Caldas cave stretches 600 meters in length with three entrances, featuring a main cavity that reaches five meters in height and contains a subterranean river.

Archaeological excavations in the cave revealed numerous Upper Paleolithic artifacts, establishing it as a significant prehistoric site in the Asturias region of Spain.

The Venus of Las Caldas, discovered within the cave, represents an exceptional example of Magdalenian art combining an ibex head with female anatomical features.

The cave is located between the villages of Piñera and Les Caldes, covering a protected area of 45 hectares within the Nalón Valley municipality.

Five different species of bats, including the medium mouse-eared bat and cave bat, make their home within the cave's extensive network of passages.
