Scladina, Archaeological show cave in Sclayn, Belgium.
Located in the Andenne hills, Scladina Cave extends through multiple chambers containing archaeological artifacts and geological formations dating back 130,000 years.
The excavation of Scladina Cave, which began in 1978, led to the 1993 discovery of Neanderthal child remains that provided essential data about human evolution.
The Archaeological Centre at Scladina Cave functions as both a research facility and educational institution, presenting prehistoric findings through scientific exhibitions.
The cave complex maintains regular visiting hours with guided tours available in multiple languages, and visitors should wear appropriate footwear for the underground environment.
Genetic analysis of the Neanderthal remains found in Scladina revealed a direct ancestral connection to later Western European populations, distinguishing it from other prehistoric sites.
