Reflections in the lake near the entrance.
After the carbonic acid in the rainwater (which has seeped through the rocks from the surface above) dissolves the calcite in the limestone, then the water drips into the joint. Once the water is in the cave, it is exposed to the air. This will cause the rainwater to release the carbon dioxide and the calcite is then precipitated in the cave. This precipitation causes the minerals to be distributed onto the cave walls and ceilings. When these minerals build on the ceilings, they will begin to form a stalactite. Then the extra dissolved calcite drips to the ground or floor of the cave and begin to form a stalagmite. As they both grow, they will get closer to each other snd eventually form a column.

The Cove of Neptune has one scene of incomparable beauty created from exceptional concretions and the transparancies of its inner lake. E' a great cove that has a development of 2.500 metres, with numerous knows them, wide galleries, limpid smalls lake, deep pools, narrow cunicoli that render it very complex. In its inside it re-unites a series of naturalistic peculiarites without equal that render it one of the more interesting and pregevoli of the entire Mediterranean basin. Geologically Capo Caccia appears constituted from cliffs of the Cretaceous period, whose age is comprised between 135 and 65 million years ago.
