The Grotta di Ispinigoli is a karstic cave in the
Supramonte massif, near Dorgali, Sardinia, Italy.
One of the largest grottoes in the island, houses a large
stalactite-stalagmite compound: that huge column you can easily
spot in the pictures. It's the tallest in Europe and one of the
tallest in the world, measuring 38 m in total. The grotto also
include the so-called Abisso delle Vergini ("Abyss of the
Virgins"), a 60 m-deep hole leading to a 12 km series of cafes
connecting Ispingoli to many other caves of this part of the
island, creating a huge underground labirinth which is still
partially unexplored. The name derives from the theory that human
sacrifices were held here during the Phoenician rule in
this area.
