Mysterious religious and historical paintings, including Jesus, his disciples and Richard the Lionheart, adorn the walls of a cave in the UK that was once referred to as “the greatest curiosity of its kind in Europe”. The Daily Star writes about it.
Beneath the town of Royston in North Hertfordshire is an underground cavern with unusual carvings on its walls. Although no one knows how it got there or who carved it, it remains attractive to tourists and is still full of mysteries.
According to The Mirror, the cave itself has an interesting history, which is greatly illustrated by the surprising amount of carvings. It contains pictures of Jesus and his apostles, Richard the Lionheart, and even King David.
The cave is also carved with figures of a horse and an earth goddess known as Sheila-na-gig, believed to be pagan symbols of fertility. There are many more small figures and symbols that have not been identified to date.
The cave itself was accidentally discovered by women in 1742. See the Royston Cave website for more information.
“Entry to the cave was only possible by request and by rope, and only in 1790 was an official paid visit started for visitors after the existing entrance was excavated. This 22-metre tunnel was excavated by local builder Thomas Watson. At that time it occupied the Town House building above. registered it as private property and charged visitors sixpence to enter.Watson declared Royston Cave “the greatest wonder of its kind in Europe”.
The publication states that the cave was created by man. There is no information about its age and purpose, and despite many theories, nothing has been proven. Many English believe that this tunnel belonged to the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages, while others believe it may have been a Masonic lodge.
Royston Cave is open to tourists hoping to see the incredible murals located deep inside the city.
