Grottoes

In many languages, the word grotto is used for artificial caverns, in opposition to caves, which are natural caverns. The grottoes, we talk of, are a special sort of artificial cavern, typically built in the 18th and 19th century. They are similar to the shell houses, both are artificial caverns decorated with shells, rocks, and minerals.
