Bat Grotto, Grotta dei Pipistrelli in Italian, is more than a large cavern. This rock cave, 120 meters deep, is home to three kinds of bats. It is part of a large network of caves and has three secret entryways. And it boasts traces of human habitation 40,000 years ancient. - Pottery fragments and animal fossils dating from the mid and late Paleolithic as well as remains of a Mediaeval alter and frescoes were uncovered here in the 1870s. - Yet what makes a trek to the Bat Grotto really cool are the legends and myths told by the locals.
