Neanderthal finds and cave history at Toirano's entrance

Address Palazzo del Marchese, via Polla, Toirano

This small but well-organized prehistoric museum sits at the entrance to the Toirano cave system and serves as the natural starting point for any visit to the valley. It documents the Neanderthal occupation of the caves, including the remarkable hand- and footprints preserved on the cave walls. Staff can advise on cave access and opening times.
