Hidden beneath an ordinary home in a street that bears the cave’s name in ix-Xagħra, is a small cavern with stalactites and stalagmites. The cave was discovered in 1924 by the current owners’ grandfather while he was digging a well. It is illuminated by electric lights so that visitors can see the rock formations. Entry is via a 10m spiral staircase, built into the original well shaft (so not sutable for anyone with vertigo, mobility problems or a large girth). In the cave you take a circular tour of about 30m past some very pretty calcified formations 25 cm to a metre tall. There are also some interesting formations, which have developed as a result of calcification of tree roots.

The visitor will be shown speleothems (stalactites/stalagmites) resembling a tortoise, a vulture, a giraffe and a pair of elephant’s ears. The cave was extended during the Second World War when the family used the cave as an air raid shelter. Xerri’s grotto is 12 min walk from the property

A little way down the road from Ninu’s Cave, you’ll find Xerri’s Grotto. Also entered through a family home, this cave was discovered in 1923 by Antonio Xerri when he attempted to dig a well outside his house. Famous for its alabaster stalactites and stalagmites, much of the excavations took place during WW11, when the cave was used as an air raid shelter
