Castelcivita grottos
TOUR LENGHT: 4 HRS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Walking tour + transport
The Castelcivita grottos, in the province of Salerno, are very beautiful karst cavities where nature has modelled interesting stalactites and stalagmites. Placed at the bottom of the Alburni mountains, in the Cilento area, they are considered to be the largest carsic caverns of Southern Italy.
Discovered in 1889, it was only possible to open them safely to the public in 1925. The internal of the caves is very interesting. There are many large halls which hosts impressive calcareous concretions, long galleries, falls of calcareous material, a large hall called the "desert" for the presence of sand and finally a lake of rainwater subject to the external weather conditions.
The tour can be combined with a visit to the nearby Padula charterhouse or the famous Paestum archaeological Site.
