La Grotta del Cavaliere - cave of the knight in Pescorocchiano is a construction of circular shape with a diameter of about three meters, with two large boulders as cover. At the center of the cover there is a hole.
It is assumed that these are the remains of a pagan temple dedicated to a deity named Nervaiano or Hercules Vaiano.
In the cave a small marble base was found, dated between the third and second century BC, inscribed with a votive inscription in Nervaiano.
The "Knight" name comes from an English traveller, Sir Knight Edward Dodwell, who in 1830 did the oversighting.
