Hiking
It is one of the many quarries in the Berici Hills (known as 'priàre' in the Venetian dialect) for the extraction of the prized Vicenza stone, widely used and appreciated in architecture. Some quarries (like this one) have been abandoned; others are still active; and still others have been converted for various purposes. Note the stone pillars that the miners left behind to prevent the ceiling from collapsing.
