Grotta Romanelli
Puglia
Excavated since the early 20th century, this modest-looking sea cave yielded some of the most important Palaeolithic finds in the Mediterranean, including engravings of horses and birds scratched into the rock tens of thousands of years ago. The site sits quietly along the same stretch of coast as the more visited Zinzulusa cave.
