Museo geopaleontologico di Cava Bomba

A former furnace used in ‘800s for the extraction and production of lime, Cava Bomba testifies to a flourishing, typical production activity, conducted in the past in the Euganean Hills territory. It is also the starting point of the ‘’Monte Cinto nature Trail’’.
With specifical guided tours you have the opportunity to get to know all the various stages of the production process of the three Cava Bomba furnaces and the tools used for the processing of stone materials.
In the cave near the furnace, fossil fishes dating back to the Late Cretaceous were discovered in 1974.
After a meticolous restoration, the complex is today the seat of a Palaeontology Museum which offers several educational tours for schools according to the various education degrees.
The outdoor area is particularly attractive with mined materials and re-productions of life-size prehistoric animals such as Alliosaurus, Apatosaurus and Hadrosaur.
