The Treasure Cave (in Spanish: Cueva del Tesoro), sometimes called Cueva del Higuerón, is one of only three submarine caves known in the world, and the only one in Europe. It is located in the municipality of Rincón de la Victoria, near the city of Málaga. The cave is carved into a limestone promontory, forming a cliff on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Its name comes from a legend about a treasure of the Almoravid dynasty, found, it is said, inside the cave. Human footprints from 40,000 years ago have been found at the site. It was declared a Cultural Heritage Site (Bien de Interés Cultural, BIC) in 1985.
