In Cilento, where the National Park of Cilento and Vallo di Diano and Alburni begins, are the beautiful Caves of Castelcivita.
Among the most visited caves in the province of Salerno, these karst cavities represent one of the largest speleological complexes in Italy.

The Caves of Castelcivita, also known as the Caves of Spartacus, are located in the municipality of Castelcivita, at the gateway to the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park in the province of Salerno. It is a complex of karst cavities particularly rich in stalactites and stalagmites of a thousand shapes. The Caves of Castelcivita, with a total length of about 4800 m, today represent one of the largest speleological complexes in southern Italy. They extend, in fact, for several kilometers in the massif of the Alburni Mountains, in the municipalities of Castelcivita and Controne, but only 1700 m are accessible to visitors.

The Caves of Castelcivita are the product of the unceasing work of water, which over the centuries has created fantastic limestone structures of a variety of shapes such as stalactites and stalagmites, giving rise to underground landscapes of undoubted beauty.

A visit to the Castelcivita caves certainly gives unique emotions, whichever route you choose from: tourist route, amateur route and speleological route. Inside the caves it is possible to admire the succession of landscapes that change from one "room" to the next each with its own particularity such as "the pagoda" a monumental stalagmite, or the Prince of Piedmont Hall which has a column made up of elegant horizontal disk elements, the Wells of Death, deep vertical cavities almost completely filled with water.
