Santarcangelo is much more than what meets the eye!
Beneath the streets of the town we walk through every day lies a secret that not everyone knows: a second, underground city made up of as many as 160 caves, tunnels and passageways.

But what were these caves used for?
When were they created? Who dug them?
And what is the meaning behind the so-called Monumental Caves?

You can find out by joining the Mysterious Santarcangelo Tour: the underground city. A journey back in time, through a kind of labyrinth, where history, legends and curiosities come together in a truly one-of-a-kind story.

The caves can only be visited with a guided tour, which you can book by filling in the form below or by contacting the Santarcangelo Pro Loco Tourist Information Office (IAT).

Read all the useful information to make the most of your visit!
