Riserva naturale integrale Grotta Conza

The Grotta Conza Reserve contains a large cave measuring 90 meters in length and 30 meters in width, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation at its entrance.

Archaeological findings from the Paleolithic period, including bone fragments of mammals, mollusks, and tools made of flint and obsidian, were discovered near the cave entrance.

The reserve supports scientific research activities focused on studying local flora, fauna, and geological formations while preserving natural habitats for future generations.

Tours of the reserve require advance reservations, with groups limited to 30 participants, and visitors must wear appropriate hiking boots for safety reasons.

The cave provides shelter to bat colonies and contains endemic species like Orphanoiulus dinapolii, a diplopod found exclusively in the Palermo region.
