Description
The Devil's Cave is situated on Punta Ristola at about 150 meters from the cave Porcinara and it is accessible both from sea and by land through an opening height of about 4 meters and 2 meters wide. It 'was so named because it was said that you could hear the dark rumblings, attributed by the popular imagination, of the devils.
The cave can be divided into three parts: the main entrance, located 16 meters above sea level has an opening of 6 by 5 meters to the north that leads into a vestibule placed slightly below, the central part that ends after about 20 mt at a lower vestibule which gradually declines almost to the level of the sea; the entrance hall that narrows more and more to open up two ways leading to the sea.
