The Furninha Grotto is a natural cavity where many archaeological remainings where found which prove the existence of people on this place during the prehistoric period.
This grotto is located near the sea and it is thought to have been used as a shelter and necropole. Here many Neanderthal Man remains were found as well as fauna from the quaternary period, hunting tools, and also pottery objects as suspended pots.
The remains found here might be observed at the Municipal Museum of Peniche at the Fort of Peniche.
