There is a beautiful cave located on the Rock of Gibraltar.
St. Michael’s Cave
A fun place to visit while in Gibraltar. Over one million visitors come to St. Michael’s Cave every year. I was impressed by the variety of different stalactites in this cave. It was not as large as Carlsbad Caverns in NM. Or maybe it was, but only a smaller section was open to the public. There are guided tours available to another part of the cave.
Cathedral Cave auditorium
A large room of the cave called Cathedral Cave is used as an auditorium for light shows, concerts, Miss Gibraltar beauty pageants, and the Philharmonic. The acoustics in this part of the cave are said to be wonderful.
The photo above is a cross cut of a very large stalactite that got too heavy on one side and fell off the ceiling of the cave. The cut was made in 1972. The darker rings are times of less rain on Gibraltar. The photo does not capture the colors and beauty. Nor does it capture it’s tremendous size. It is 4′ 6″ in diameter.
