Cave of Marina di Maratea

The cave extends 70 meters in length and 20 meters in width, featuring numerous limestone formations throughout its internal chambers and passages.

Construction workers discovered the cave in 1929 during the development of Highway 18, leading to its recognition as an Italian national heritage site.

The cave serves as a geological study site for researchers examining the formation patterns of stalactites and stalagmites in the Tyrrhenian coastal region.

Access to the cave follows a seasonal schedule, with guided tours operating daily from 10:30 to 13:00 and 15:30 to 18:30 throughout the primary visiting months.

The internal temperature of the cave maintains a constant level throughout the year, creating specific conditions for mineral deposits and crystalline structures.
