Cuevas de Fuentes de León, Natural monument and cave system in Fuentes de León, Spain
The protected area encompasses seven interconnected caves featuring stalactites, stalagmites, columns, helictites, pool rims, and aragonite crystal formations across 1020 hectares.
The caves contain archaeological remains spanning from the Neolithic period through the Iron Age, with evidence of ancient human settlements using them for burials.
The Cueva del Agua includes engravings depicting mountain ranges and contains a substantial underground lake measuring 250 square meters in surface area.
The caves remain open Tuesday through Sunday throughout the year, requiring advance reservations through the city council for guided exploration of three accessible caves.
Two endangered bat species, Miniopterus scheibersii and Rhinolophus mehelyi, make their home within the cave system under legal protection measures.
