ST MICHAEL'S CAVE
Located more than 300 metres above sea level, with magnificent stalactites and stalagmites, the cave has been famous since ancient time (there are references in the works of Popmponius Mela 45AD and other Roman writers). Its upper hall is connected with many lower chambers by a series of winding passages. During World War II the cave was prepared as an emergency hospital, but happily it was never used for this purpose. The main chamber has been transformed into a large subterranean auditorium, and provides a unique venue for concerts, ballet, drama, fashion shows and other social events. The cave consists of an Upper Hall with 5 connecting passages and rocks between 40ft (12.2m) and 150ft (45.7m) to a smaller hall. Beyond this, a series of narrow halls leads to a further succession of chambers, reaching depths of some 250ft (62.5m) below the entrance. During World War II the cave was prepared as an emergency hospital, but was never used as such.
