The Hams Caves were first discovered by Don Pedro Caldentey in 1905. Located in Porto Cristo, they are renowned worldwide for the smoothness of the rocks, the spectacular tree-like formations and their wonderful underground lakes. The incomparable beauty of these caves is highlighted by artistic electric illumination, designed by Don Lorenzo Caldentey, son of the discoverer.

Several different lakes are to be found within the caves, the largest being the "Sea of Venice" featuring a "Magical Mozart" performance daily in a special tribute to the famous composer.
