Pellumbas Cave Tour in Tirana. The Black Cave, also known as the cave of Pëllumbas (650 m above sea level), is valued by specialists as one of the most precious karstic caves and prehistoric settlement in Albania (declared natural monument in 2002).

There are only five caves of this kind in Europe. Different from similar European caves, this karstic cave has also remnants of human culture, which according to Tirana Archaeological Institute belong to the period of Palaeolithic in Ancient Middle Ages.
