The Duke Cau is a karst cave on the southern slope of the mountain of Santa Caterina, in the Montgrí massif. There are different ways to get there, as the austerity of this slope of the mountain limits the growth of the vegetation, but the most accessible comes from the Coll de Santa Caterina or the Cross, following the "flat rocks ". There is a large opening on the south face that is visible from the town of Torroella de Montgrí, a few meters below the summit. The ceiling is a few meters high and the ground slightly slope. It is a rocky coat that was occupied by hominids during the Paleolithic. Inside the cave was the Montgrí peak.
