The cave was formed over centuries due to the action of water. During the War of Independence, it served as a natural burial site for French soldiers. Inside, you can admire beautiful stalactite formations along a 500-meter route. 😊

This is a beautiful pool when there is enough water. On a good day the water is a beautiful clear blue. Towards the end of summer there is usually not much water and it may not be the nice color.
