Szeleta Cave, Archaeological cave site in Lillafüred, Hungary.

Szeleta Cave is an inactive spring cave formed in Triassic rock, 115 m long and 13 m high, with its entrance on the southern slope of Szeleta Peak at 347 m above sea level, opposite the Hámori cemetery. Inside, a slope descends into an entrance hall where a depression marks the former 12 m deep excavation; a black line on the side wall shows the original sediment level. From the hall, a shorter straight branch leads left and a longer branch continues straight.

Ottokár Kadić began test excavations in November 1906 and, from May 1907, dug a 12 by 2 metre trench in the entrance hall, reaching a Pleistocene hearth among cave-bear bones. Jenő Hillebrand joined in 1909, and the work continued until 1913, reaching the cave floor at 12.5 metres. Seven stratigraphic levels were later distinguished, with levels 3 to 6 assigned to the Szeletian culture.

The site gave its name to the Szeletian culture, representing a transitional period between Middle and Upper Paleolithic periods from 44,000 to 40,000 years ago.

The entrance lies on the southern slope of Szeleta-tető, 98 m above the Szinva valley and 347 m above sea level, opposite the hámori cemetery on the edge of Lillafüred. Inside, a slope descends from the entrance into the chamber, where a depression marks the former excavation trench dug 12 m deep. From the chamber a shorter arm runs to the left and a longer one straight ahead; the cave is 115 m long.

A black line on the cave wall marks the original sediment level from the early 20th century. This marking helps visitors understand the depth of archaeological digging that took place here.
