What To Expect
Pellumbas Cave Tour in Tirana. The Black Cave, also known as the cave of Pëllumbas (650 m above sea level), is valued by specialists as one of the most precious karstic caves and prehistoric settlement in Albania (declared natural monument in 2002).
In this cave were found skeletons, which according to the Museum of Natural Sciences of Florence University, belong to cave bears (Ursus Speleaus), that lived from 400 000 to 10 000 years ago. There are only five caves of this kind in Europe.
Different from similar European caves, this karstic cave has also remnants of human culture, which according to Tirana Archaeological Institute belong to the period of Palaeolithic in Ancient Middle Ages. It is thought that the cave has been inhabited since the beginning of human society, about 30,000 years ago.
