Bolca

Bolca lies in the Lessini Mountains of Veneto, Italy, where wooded limestone slopes and small valleys form foothills above the Po Plain. It is internationally known for Monte Bolca, an Eocene fossil site whose finely preserved fish have made the name a landmark in palaeontology. Deposits at Pesciara record a tropical marine ecosystem from roughly 50 million years ago, and many discoveries are displayed at Bolca’s Fossil Museum. Part of the municipality of Vestenanova in the province of Verona, the settlement’s quiet mountain setting contrasts with the ancient sea preserved in its rocks.
