Grotte de Brando, Cave entrance in Brando, France

The Grotte de Brando features a stone arch entrance leading to interconnected chambers with natural rock formations and a staircase descending thirty meters deep.

Engineering commander Philippe Ferdinandi discovered this karst cave in 1841, establishing it as the first and only show cave on the island of Corsica.

The entrance area contains remnants of a fortified village with ancient walls, buildings, and a deteriorated chapel that reflect local architectural traditions.

The cave entrance requires a fifteen-minute walk from the D80 coastal road parking area, and visitors need proper lighting equipment and sturdy footwear.

Below the cave lies Source de la Glacière, a water source flowing at 35 liters per second that previously supplied an ice factory.
