Corbeddu Cave, Archaeological park and cave entrance in Oliena, Italy
Located in the Lanaitho valley, Corbeddu Cave extends 130 meters into the limestone rock formations, containing three primary chambers for exploration.
The cave contains human remains and artifacts dating back 20,000 years, marking the earliest evidence of human presence on Sardinia.
The site received its name from Giovanni Corbeddu Salis, who left his signature and a scale drawing while using the cave as shelter from 1844 to 1898.
Recent visitor statistics indicate varying attendance patterns, with 4,000 visitors recorded in 2018, declining to 2,500 in 2021 and 1,075 in 2020.
Researchers discovered bones of extinct endemic animals including the Sardinian dhole, Praemegaceros cazioti deer, and Prolagus sardus within the cave chambers.
