PICTURES FROM THE HISTORIC CAVES OF HELLA

Scroll down and take a look at a few pictures from the historic site at Caves of Hella. The mysterious caves are man-made and are thought to be the oldest archaeological remains that still stand in Iceland.

There is a great deal of mystery that surrounds the caves. No one knows for sure when they were built or by whom. The caves are thought to have been built by celtic settlers as far back as before the arrival of the Nordic Vikings to Iceland. The historic caves hold many wonders, e.g. ancient wall carving, crosses, room and carved seats.
