The Impiso Cave (Template:Lang-it) is a sea cave located in San Felice Circeo, Italy.

Location

The cave is located along the coast on the southern side of Mount Circeo in the comune of San Felice Circeo. Situated a few dozen meters west of the Goats Cave, it can only be accessed by sea.

Description

It is so called because of the presence of a large stalactite hanging from the ceiling of its vault, which resembles a hanged man, translated as impiso in Italian.[1]
