Hello, this time me and Matt from Matt Adventures (See link below), we'll be exploring this magnificent cave. This cave has parts that can be visited by anyone and other parts that are more technical and caution must be taken into account. As always safety first and one needs a good light and preferably a helmet.
There is a cave in the southern part of the island commanding views of the cliffs and deep blue sea. The Cave is called Għar Hasan or Hasan’s Cave. Hasan Cave is around 387 meters in length and can be found 70 meters above sea level. The entrance of the cave is 5 meters high and 6 meters wide, with a dimension of 20 meters.Like other caves, there is a legend surrounding it and today we are going to talk about the legend of Għar Hasan.
There are different versions of the legend as usual. The first one is that Hasan, a 12 century Saracen ‘rebel’ set his eyes on a fair Maiden and decided to abduct her and hide her in the cave. This raised hell with the locals and they attacked the cave. Instead of taken captive, Hasan flung the girl into the sea below and then committed suicide by jumping off the edge.
Another version is the girl was abducted and Hasan made her promise eternal love to him and she’d be freed. The girl got desperate and jumped off a cliff after which followed Hasan jumping after her.
Thanks all and hope you enjoyed.
