About
Quick facts: Beneath the surface, there is a three-story network of underground chambers covering about 500 square meters. Inside, you can see prehistoric paintings and learn about six thousand years of human activity history in this place.
Highlights: There is an extraordinary acoustic chamber here that amplifies sounds to the level of resonance, which in ancient rituals could create a hypnotic effect. Realistic bas-reliefs carved into the walls tell ancient stories of life and death.
