The gigantic karst cavern Grotto di Ispinigoli is located near the east coast in central Sardinia. It was discovered and explored in the 1950s and opened to the public in 1974. More than 40000 people visit each year. The centerpiece is a 38m high limestone column which is the highest in the world. There are underground streams and three cave systems, totaling 17 km. The three entrances are at different heights and create airflows that maintain the temperature at a constant 16-17 degrees, Centigrade. Archaeological exploration has revealed fossils, human and animal bones and jewelry from various cultures through the ages.
