Lībiešu Upuralas, Archaeological monument in Salacgrīva Parish, Latvia.
Two caves stretching 46 and 19.5 meters in length emerge from Middle Devonian sandstone formations along the banks of the Svētupe River.
The site gained official recognition in 1967 when it was declared an archaeological monument, followed by its designation as a geological natural monument in 2001.
Ancient coins and eggshells discovered within the caves provide evidence of ceremonial offerings made by the Livonian people during their traditional rituals.
Visitors need to carry flashlights to navigate the dark interior of the caves, which are located 14 kilometers from the Svētupe River mouth.
The smaller cave features tunnel-like chimneys in its ceiling and contains wall inscriptions depicting the Lithuanian cross and Jumis symbols.
