In addition to the rich natural environment, visitors can explore the small rock church built around the ‘Grotta di San Michele Arcangelo’ (Cave of St. Michael the Archangel), where, according to local legend, the young warrior saint slew a terrible dragon. There is also the ‘Grotta Pila’, a natural cave about 40 metres long, which is very interesting from both a morphological and archaeological point of view.
In terms of its physical characteristics, it is characterised by the presence of stalactites, stalagmites and columns formed by karstification, but the cave is particularly important for the study of the chiropterofauna that lives there.
Interesting archaeological finds have also been discovered in the cave, including burials and vases dating from the Neolithic to the Copper Age.
