Magili, Natural cave in Vayots Dzor Region, Armenia
Magili Cave extends through a network of underground chambers and passages, with cavities measuring several tens of meters wide and 15 meters high.
Archaeological discoveries within the cave include human bones from the Neolithic period and stone tools, indicating early human occupation of this underground structure.
The cave stands near Areni village, where researchers discovered ancient wine production evidence including clay vessels and grape remains with fermentation marks.
Access to the cave requires certified guides, and the entrance allows only one person at a time to pass through the narrow opening.
The cave maintains a constant temperature between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius, providing shelter for numerous bat species, including many listed in conservation records.
