This cavity was used as an Iberian sanctuary and features a Roman inscription from the year 238, made by a legionnaire as a tribute to his detachment, in a rock shelter slightly sheltered from the rain. Today, the inscription is protected by a metal grille.
The Cueva del Agua is a natural siphon that collects water, which is the source of both the cave and the significant karst phenomena that occur in the surrounding area. During the 16th and 17th centuries, costly refurbishment work was carried out inside the cave to collect this rainwater.
The frequent discovery of Iberian and Roman ceramics suggests that the cave was used in pre-Roman and Roman times as a place of worship, with offerings being deposited there.
It is not accessible.
