Saint Michael's Cave is located in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve and is formed geologically by limestone. Inside, dramatic stalagmite structures hang from above, striking awe in all who enter. The cave has been the setting of countless legends and folklores. Some once believed that the cave was bottomless, while others claimed that the cave was connected to Africa by a subterranean passageway beneath the Strait of Gibraltar. There are several tales of military heroes undertaking secret missions to the cave, or vanishing in the cave, never to be seen again. Since the early 1960s, the cave has been used as a theatre seating up to six-hundred concert, drama, and ballet attendees. Visitors are welcomed daily.
