On the acropolis at Cumae was a cave known by tradition as that of the sibyl. When excavated in the 1920’s, it turned out to be bigger than expected, a huge gallery with light shafts and water cisterns leading off it. A second cave was discovered nearby, which archeologist were satisfied was the sibyl’s. The main gallery ends in a vestibule with a pair of built in stone benches and beyond it a vaulted chamber.

People may once have sat on seats while waiting to consult the sibyl. They were, perhaps in a state of heightened anticipation for, in daytime, the alternate bands of light and dark created by the shafts along the gallery meant that anyone coming from the inner end to conduct newcomers to the sanctum would seem to appear and disappear.

Special effects are created by these light shafts which served to awe visitors with their aperture effects in the oracular chambers. It is easy, standing at the entrance to this cavern, to imagine Virgil’s hero Aeneas and his Trojans, seasoned warriors all, yet chill with dread, as the sibyl from her shrine sang out her riddles, echoing in the cave.

Let us take you there; we would be honored. For more information, please contact us.
