La Caverna delle Arene Candide - MAF

The Cave of Arene Candide, on the cliffs of the Caprazoppa Promontory in Liguria, is one of the most important sites for the Prehistory of the north-western Mediterranean. Overlooking the sea at about 90 meters in height, it preserves one of the most complete stratigraphies in Europe, with traces of almost uninterrupted human presence from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Byzantine age. Among its most famous discoveries, the burial of the Young Prince, dating back 28,000 years.
