Cave of Mitreo


At the foot of Monte Hermada, which has been theatre of war between 1915 and 1917, is located a small cave in which people worshiped the solar deity.

Inside the cave of Mitreo there are two benches and a limestone where, during the religious ceremonies, the bread was broken.

The Cave of Mitreo is one of the most ancient temples in the world which is located inside a cave.
