The Cavenes are mine stripping produced by the exploitation of the gold in Roman times. They are a characteristic landscape in which you can see the traces left in the ground by the extraction processes, transport, cleaning and accumulation of sterile between the first half of the century I AC, and the end of II century AC, exceptionally kept by the fossilization of the landscape.
