Vela Spila Prehistoric Cave
Historic site
Vela Spila is a prehistoric cave above the town of Vela Luka on the island of Korčula, Croatia, located on Pinski Rat hill at an elevation of approximately 130 m. The elliptically shaped cavern is 40 m long, 17 m high and 40 m wide. Two openings in the roof resulted from collapse at an undetermined point in the past, admitting natural light to the interior. Archaeological excavations at the site have produced finds dating back tens of thousands of years; pottery and bone tools uncovered here are on display at the Vela Luka Cultural Centre.
