Cala Gonone Tourist Information

Cala Gonone

Gonone is well-know for the beautiful cave where seals are supposed to live. But the cave is today uninhabited. The past of the cave is mysterious. Over the walls, the graffiti tell us about a millenary ceremonial, maybe a dance or a celebration in honour of some god. From the entrance the cave shows a big room called “Sala Bionda”. This name comes from a dismal discovery: in 1947a woman’s skeleton died 10 years before was found in that room. Nobody knows who the lady was, how she arrived there and who killed her. This enigma increases the cave’s glamour together with its incredible concretions , its little pools, green as emeralds, its pure water which flows silently playing with reflections and sunbeams. From the Sala dei Candelabri (Candelabra’ room) to the Sala della Torta (Cake’s room) there’s a flat and circular concretion with a familiar shape, almost human, quite unusual in an environment that isn’t human at all. The southern part, opened to the public 8 years ago, let you go through dark ways and alleys, frozen little lakes and beaches for the seals. That strip of land, hidden, silent and wonderfully protected, is desert today, It seems to remind us that sometimes the human presence doesn’t help the nature.
