Quick facts worth knowing

The original Discover tab often carries useful bite-sized facts. Here they are separated into readable cards.
01
The Cuevas del Drach are home to one of the largest underground lakes in the world, called Lake Martel, which is about 177 meters long and 30 meters wide. 2. Hidden inside the caves is a unique concert hall known as the Chamber of the Dam, where visitors can enjoy live music performances while being surrounded by stunning stalactite formations. 3. The caves are believed to be about 11 million years old and were formed by the action of water entering the limestone rock over time. 4. Legend has it that the caves were once inhabited by dragons, hence their name "Cuevas del Drach," which means "Caves of the Dragon" in Spanish. 5. Besides its impressive stalactites and stalagmites, the caves also hold a rare rock formation known as the "Three Wise Men," which resembles the famous biblical figures when viewed from a certain angle.
