Grutas da Moeda, Cave system in São Mamede, Portugal.
The limestone cave extends 350 meters in length and reaches depths of 45 meters, featuring numerous chambers with distinct geological formations.
Two hunters discovered the cave system in 1971 while pursuing a fox, leading to a two-month exploration that revealed multiple underground chambers.
Each chamber bears specific names reflecting local interpretations, including Nativity Scene, Shepherd, Cascade, Virgin, Red Dome, Marine, and Spring of Tears.
The cave maintains temperatures between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius year-round, with extended visiting hours from July through September until 19:00.
The site includes a scientific center containing 3,500 mineral specimens and a 13-kilogram meteorite from the surrounding limestone deposits.
