The fluvial current inside and the shapes of their walls and cavities grant to the structure of the
CAVES of "EL TOLL"
a great esthetic and plastic beauty
.
It has 1.148 m. of depth in total,
the part that you can visit has 158 m. and "L" shape.
Placed in the natural county of Moianès, it is one of the
caves of Europe with the richest fauna of the QUATERNARY,
in the meantime of the glaciation's Würm: hippopotamus, rhinoceros, bear of the cavern, lion, hyena ...
Few flints from Mousterian show us the human presence in the Middle Palaeolithic (between 100.000 and 40.000 years of antiquity) in the county.
