The Grottoes Is Zuddas (Santadi)


The beautiful grottoes of Is Zuddas, formed in the limestone of Monte Meana, 236 m. above sea level, are of great speleologic interest because of their incredible concretions. In the first chamber visitors can admire the marvellous stalactites and stalagmites which form impressive columns, a natural passage then leads into the so-called 'organ room', which gets its name from the column formation resembling organ pipes.
Just inside the entrance visitors can also see the remains of a pre-historic rodent which became extinct about 400 years ago, the Prolagus Sardus.
