Magura Cave is a limestone cave located in the northwest part of Bulgaria, near the village of Rabisha. The cave is famous for its prehistoric cave paintings, which date back to the Neolithic period, around 8,000-4,000 BCE. The paintings depict a wide range of subjects, including animals, hunting scenes, and religious symbols.

Magura Cave is considered one of the most important prehistoric sites in Bulgaria and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. The cave is also home to a number of rare and endemic species of bats, making it an important natural habitat.

The cave has a length of 2.5 km, of which only 700 meters are open to the public. Visitors can take guided tours of the cave to see the ancient paintings and explore its unique geological formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and cave pearls.
