Castellana Grotte is a town built on top of a hidden world: beneath its streets run the karst caverns that have drawn travellers and geologists for generations, while the old centre above keeps the rhythm of a working Puglian town. The most direct way into that underground history is the Castellana Grottoes: Official Guided Tour with Entry Ticket, which explains the formations and the story of their discovery as you walk through them.
