Verteba, Prehistoric cave in Bilche-Zolote, Ukraine

The cave system extends through 8.5 kilometers of passageways formed in gypsum deposits beneath the Podolian Upland near the Seret river.

Archaeological studies from 1876 revealed multiple human settlements, with discoveries of ceramic vessels, tools, and human remains dating back to the Copper Age.

The Cucuteni-Trypillia people left thousands of artifacts in the cave, including decorated pottery and clay figurines representing feminine forms from 3900 BCE.

Visitors can explore the cave museum, which opened in 2004, displaying archaeological findings and information about the ancient Trypillian settlements.

During World War II, twenty-eight Jewish refugees found shelter within the cave's depths, moving deeper into passages to avoid detection by Nazi forces.
