Cave of the Skulls
About the place
Cave of the Skulls is located at the base of a sheer limestone hill on the Costa Blanca. The surrounding landscape is quiet and rugged, leading into vast underground chambers with vaults reaching 20 meters high. The cave impresses with the interplay of light on stalactites and ancient rock layers formed over millions of years. It served as shelter for humans from Neanderthals to soldiers of the Spanish Civil War. The site combines natural power with historical significance, evoking the spirit of Victorian scientific explorations of the Earth’s depths.
