Once passed the entrance to the cavern, we can see a gallery of 131 meters long by 5 high and 2.50 wide with trapezoidal shape that makes it clear that it is not a natural cave. According to the studies it was built between the 6th and 7th centuries b.C.

Along the gallery on its west side with regular intervals we will find openings with trapezoidal shape, which served to illuminate and ventilate the area. It is said that through these windows the Sibyl Cumana made public its prophecies throwing them to the wind once written.

Following the tunnel on the east side we will find an opening that gives way to a room with the lowered floor, which communicates with a small private room, because in the entrance arch there are signs that once existed a door. The stay is cubic in shape with stone seats attached to the wall, which is thought the Sybil sat there to enter into a trance and write their predictions.
