Grotta del Trullo, Natural cave formation in Putignano, Italy.
The Grotta del Trullo extends 12 meters underground, featuring smooth alabaster formations, red-tinted minerals, and white crystalline structures throughout its chambers.
Workers discovered the cave system during sewer excavations in 1931, and Prince Umberto II of Savoy attended its opening ceremony four years later.
The cave earned recognition as an Italian Wonder in 2011 from the National Forum of Young People for its geological and natural importance.
Tours operate daily from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM, with guides leading visitors through temperature-controlled chambers at 15 degrees Celsius.
The cave contains mountain milk formations, consisting of calcite crystal and aragonite deposits, alongside a distinctive column named the angel.
