Arene Candide

The Arene Candide, (Caverna delle Arene Candide, lit. 'Cavern of the White Sands') is an archaeological site in Finale Ligure, Liguria, Italy. Its name was derived from the eponymous dune of white sand (arena candida) that could be found at the base of the cliff until the 1920s in the Caprazoppa promontory, where the Arene Candide cave is located. The cave is situated at 90 m (300 ft) above sea level on the upper margin of the former Ghigliazza stone quarry and has three wide openings that point towards the sea. Thanks to its position and to those openings the cave is well lit and relatively dry. It can be accessed from above within 30 minutes via a path from Borgio Verezzi.
