Coves d’Artà, Limestone cave in Capdepera, Spain
The Caves of Arta extend through multiple chambers filled with limestone formations, including stalactites hanging from the vaulted ceilings and rising stalagmites.
Ancient inhabitants of Mallorca sought refuge in these caves, followed by pirates who used them as hideouts before their transformation into a tourist site.
The largest chamber bears inscriptions of verses from Miquel Costa i Llobera's poem La deixa del Geni Grench on its stone walls.
Guided tours lasting 40 minutes lead visitors through illuminated passages and chambers, with explanations available in multiple languages.
The cave system contains a 22-meter-high stalagmite formation, positioned among the numerous mineral columns in the main chamber.
