Cueva de los Franceses, Natural limestone cave in Revilla de Pomar, Spain
The cave extends horizontally for approximately 500 meters through natural limestone formations, featuring numerous stalactites, stalagmites, and stone columns throughout its passages.
The cave received its name after a battle during the 1808 War of Independence, where French soldiers met their final resting place following a conflict with Cantabrian Hussars.
The cave incorporates modern lighting and audio systems to present geological formations, concluding with an audiovisual presentation explaining the cave's origins.
The entrance fee is 3 euros for adults, with discounts for groups over 10 people, and advance reservations are required through phone or email.
An artificial tunnel stretches 62 meters through solid limestone, secured by three sequential gates, leading visitors into the natural cave system.
