About this site
Grotta del Bue Marino sits on the coast of Filicudi in the Aeolian Islands, off the province of Messina in Sicily. The cave takes its name from the monk seals, once known locally as sea oxen, that historically sheltered along this rocky shoreline. It is reached by boat from the island's small harbor, tucked beneath the volcanic cliffs typical of Filicudi's coast.
