Castellana Grotte, as its name suggests, is known best for its caves.
They were discovered in 1938 by Franco Anelli, and are regarded as the most magnificent in Italy. Long galleries alternate with spectacular caves, and all of them filled with many forms of stalactite and stalagmite.The visitable section of the caves covers about 3km, and the terminal point of the route is the spectacular White Cave, which is considered amongst the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, stalactite cave in the world.
If you are in the area a visit to the caves is a must. Many hundreds of visitors view the caves daily in the high season, but the tours conducted in English do not seem oversubscribed.
Although most people come to Castellana for the caves, the town, a couple of kilometers away, is well worth a visit on its own merits.
