Artà Caves - Hall of the Flags

Canyamel, Mallorca, Spain

The name of this hall refers to the impressive limestone discs, with rocks that hang down from its walls and ceilings, looking like flags with elegant pleats and a straight pole.
The Artà Caves (Cuevas de Artà) are located just outside the Canyamel village, on the cliffs overlooking the sea.
The caves are geological formations of limestone that were created over millions of years ago by diverse seismic movements and by the erosion of underground waters.
They form a bizarre world of mighty stalagmites and stalactites.
The individual grottoes bear distinctive names such as "Hall of the Queen of Columns", "Court of Hell" and "Paradise".
