Qomri Cave

Qomri Cave, also known as Eshkaft-e Qomri, is one of the most important natural and historical attractions in Khorramabad. The cave lies high on the mountain overlooking Gerdab-e Sangi, and it was registered as a National Monument of Iran on 10 Mehr 1380 (Solar Hijri). With its unique features, the site has attracted the attention of many archaeologists and tourists.

Qomri Cave consists of two main chambers. The first chamber has cultural layers 3 metres thick, and more than 500 animal bone fragments from various species have been found in every square metre of it. The second chamber, which is completely dark, has a fascinating atmosphere. Its floor is bare rock, and its ceiling and some other parts feature stalactites and stalagmites. According to Frank Hole, the cave was inhabited by humans from November to March.

The entrance of Qomri Cave opens to the east and overlooks Gerdab-e Sangi. The area inside the cave mouth also exceeds 200 metres, which adds to the appeal of this natural monument. These features show the importance of the site in different periods of human history.
