The cave complex extends for 3348 meters underground, reaching depths of 122 meters with internal temperatures consistently maintaining 16.5 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

In January 1938, speleologist Franco Anelli first explored the cave system, discovering the Monument Cave during his initial descent into the limestone formations.

The Franco Anelli Speleological Museum, established in 2000, houses the Pugliese Speleological Documentation Center with extensive collections of geological and cave research materials.

Guided tours lead visitors through accessible paths at 70 meters below ground level, where professional multilingual guides explain the geological formations and cave features.

The cave system contains multiple endemic species discovered through biospeleological research, contributing to scientific understanding of subterranean ecosystems in limestone environments.
