The Saltnister Cave - Neapolis Archaeological Park - Syracuse, Sicily, Italy Its name derives from the colors of its walls, similar to the nuances of the mineral saltpeter. It is not artificial since it was formed naturally after a collapse occurred in the latomie, whose rocks were deposited giving life to its formation. Even its walls were used for the extraction of the Syracusan stone with which the Siceliot polis was built.
