A caverna in Cantera

In the Cantera bario of Citzeo. Cantera is the name of the kind of stone which used to be mined here. All the old churches in town are constructed of Cantera stone mined from this part of the town. Now that it is no longer being mined here, houses are being built in the ex mine, which is that much lower than other sections of Cuitzeo. This cavern is one of the few left from test pits mined out to test the quality of the stone in various places.
