History
At the foot of the Cabo de San Antonio, located in the Montgó Natural Park, this open cavity is hidden from the sea. This emblematic cave receives the name of “carved ” or “ tallà ” (which means cut in Valencian), because it is from there that rough stone formed from beach dunes was extracted for the construction of buildings. One of them is Denia’s Castle, built by Muslims at the end of the 11th century. The most fascinating thing is that the cuts are still visible throughout the cave.
Apart from the quarry, it served as a marine refuge during World War II.
Inside the cave retains a graffiti of the visit of King Philip III in 1599.
