Ðurovića Jama (Djurovica Cave), also called Ðurovića špilja is located at the airport of Dubrovnik. It was discovered during construction works at the south edge of the airport close to the the control tower. The single huge passage is rich in speleothems.
Because of its size and beauty, and its obviously ideal location there were soon plans to convert it into a show cave. In 2007 the Ministry oof culture allowed the development of the cave and 2.2 Million Kuna were invested for the development. The cave was opened in summer 2008 and is now Croatia's youngest show cave.
