History
It dates from the Late Cretaceous period and is composed of sandstone, which ferrified during the Paleocene.
It was first studied in 1877; in the early 20th century, it was explored by Dr. Karl Walter.
The cave has been subject of the creation of a geopark. UNESCO is considering it as a possible World Heritage site, due to its interest as a geopark.
The Palace Cave is to be seen at the coat of arms of Flores Department.
