Pomezia. Cave of the Faun

The grotta del fauno - cave of the faun is a cave flooded by waters that flow from a sulfur spring.

Here resided the oracle, Faun, and people came to question him.

This is the place where King Latino learned that his daughter Lavinia would marry a foreign hero and that would change the course of history.

Until 40 years ago, in front of the grotto there was a small dried up sulphurous lake from a quarry.
