The Witches Cave of Sambughetto
is renowned from time immemorial to the local inhabitants and during the latter 50 years has been object of defacement by means of a marble mine
that dissect it in different parts
. It has also been plundered by unscrupulous collectors that took away and dispersed great quantities of fossil bones found in this cave.
