Arene Candide, Archaeological cave in Finale Ligure, Italy.

The prehistoric cave features three spacious entrances at 93 meters above sea level, providing natural illumination throughout the inner chambers.

Excavations between 1940 and 1950 uncovered 19 Paleolithic burials, including remains from the Upper Paleolithic through the Byzantine period.

The cave contained the burial of a teenage individual known as Young Prince, adorned with shell jewelry and mammoth ivory pendants.

Visitors can reach the cave through a walking path that requires a 30-minute uphill hike from the base of the mountain.

The cave preserved substantial bone remains and artifacts due to its environmental conditions, making it a reference site for Mediterranean prehistory.
