The Cave of Pirogoshit is without doubt a natural monument that makes
Albanian people proud, not just those of Skrapar. This cave is only 3 km
far from the town of Corovodes, on the right side of canyons of Gradec.
It has drawn the attentions of foreign and local academics for years. The view of the cave is very special, because from there you could see
the waterfall of the stream of Radeshit and dense vegetations on the
river bank. Though the inhabitants of the zone had discovered it a lot
of time ago, there were some Italian speleologists that studied in
depth the Cave of Pirogoshit. In 1985, when Albania was still under the communist rule, two groups of
Italian academics followed by Albanian teachers of the zone entered in
the cave and made very interesting discovers. It was 1523 m long, 30 m
wide, and 5 m high. It has the shape of a underneath labyrinth, with
narrow galleries, wells and pools with water. On its walls it has lots of stalactites and stalagmites that give a
powerful and attractive view for the eye. It’s thought that in the
Neolith period, the cave of Pirogoshit has been an early residence but
this hypothesis is not confirmed yet by archeologists
