St Michael's Cave is a grotto in Gibraltar. It is the only cave in Gibraltar - out of a total of 140 caves - that is open to the public. St Michael's Cave is said to have been named after the grotto at the Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo in Gargano de la Pulla, Italy.

The main part of St Michael's Cave is the Upper Hall. It is connected with passages a smaller chamber, and from there continues on to more chambers to a depth of about 250ft below the entrance.

St Michael's Cave has been used for many activities, the most recent being as a concert hall. The Miss Gibraltar pagent was even held here as well as Sound and Light shows. In 1848, part of a skull from the Neanderthal period (around 50,000 BC) was discovered in St Michael's Cave, and is now on display at the Gibraltar Museum.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
