Ninu's Cave, Natural limestone cave in Xagħra, Malta.
The underground chamber extends 20 meters by 8 meters, featuring numerous stalactites, stalagmites, and helictites formations throughout its limestone structure.
Local resident Joseph Rapa discovered this underground cave system in 1888 while digging a well beneath what would later become a residential house.
The cave formation maintains strong connections to Gozitan folklore, with generations of local inhabitants passing down stories about fairies inhabiting its chambers.
Visitors can access the cave by descending a 4-meter spiral staircase, with electric lighting installed to illuminate the natural rock formations.
The cave formations display a particular characteristic where many structures share the same color as surrounding rocks while others maintain semi-transparent properties.
