Vorontsovskaya Cave, Protected limestone cave system in Sochi, Russia.

The Vorontsovskaya Cave extends for 11.5 kilometers through Mesozoic limestone formations, featuring 14 different entrances at elevations between 419 and 720 meters.

Archaeological excavations within the cave revealed bones of prehistoric cave bears, saber-toothed tigers, and evidence of early human settlements using fire for cooking.

The cave chambers contain ancient altars and tool remnants that indicate the location served as a gathering space for religious ceremonies of early inhabitants.

Wooden platforms, bridges, and strategic lighting systems allow visitors to explore the cave safely while observing the natural rock formations throughout the passages.

The Prometheus Grotto stretches over 120 meters in length, while the Music Hall displays rock formations that resemble the pipes of an organ.
