The Castellana Caves, a complex of underground cavities of karst origin,
of considerable tourist interest, among the most beautiful and spectacular in Italy, are located
in the municipality of Castellana Grotte about 15km from Polignano a Mare.
They extend for a length of 3348m and reach a maximum depth
of 122m from the surface. They are located in the territory of the southeastern Murge,
at 330m above sea level; a limestone plateau formed in the Upper Cretaceous
about 90-100 million years ago. The temperature inside
is around 16.5°C.
The visit to the Caves winds along a 3km route: an extraordinary guided tour, about 70m deep, in a stunning setting, where caves with fantastic names, canyons, deep abysses, fossils, stalactites, stalagmites, concretions with incredible shapes and surprising colors stimulate the imagination of children and adults. The Castellana Caves are, therefore, an unmissable opportunity to admire one of the most amazing natural places in a wonderful Apulia.
