Coves de Gènova

Coves de Gènova is an underground cave network beneath Palma de Mallorca featuring multiple limestone chambers filled with natural mineral deposits and rock formations. The passages wind through different levels, creating various gallery spaces within the hillside.

The caves were discovered in 1906 when the landowner attempted to build a rainwater collection system. This accidental finding led to the eventual opening of the site for public exploration.

The caves connect to a restaurant serving local Catalan cuisine, blending underground exploration with regional food traditions in a single visit.

The caves are open to visitors year-round and can be explored independently. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a light jacket, as the underground passages are cool and can be damp in places.

The site offers downloadable video content explaining the geological features you encounter underground. This added layer makes it easier to understand the rock formations and mineral deposits without requiring a guided tour.
