Highlights
  • Insediamento Rupestre di Zungri - The Rocky Settlement, also called Grotte covers an area of about 3,000 square meters. Built and modified over time, the oldest traces of the site seem to date back to the 8th-12th century. It consists of dozens of rock-hewn units partly excavated in the rock and partly built, for residential use, as shelters for domestic animals, for the production of wine and lime, for the storage of grain. The Caves of Zungri are immersed in a magical and fascinating natural environment.

Additional Information

Enjoy a journey back in time. Explore the rock settlement and its hidden caves. This site features numerous rock-hewn units, partially carved from the rock and partially constructed, serving as residences, animal shelters, wine and lime production areas, and grain storage. Our driver will pick you up at a convenient meeting point, and your adventure will begin. The itinerary to the Rupestrian Settlement starts with a visit to the Museum and follows a path leading to the archaeological site.
