What is this, a natural cave? Looks great!

If I remember rightly, most of the 'space' where the 2 people are standing was quarried by slaves for the material for building some of the wonderful sites nearby. The cave goes back a fair way - will look out some old pics if I can find them!

It's called the Ear of Dionysius. There are some good stories about its acoustic properties and eavesdropping.

The comment about slaves is correct and the 'cave'is NOT natural.
