Gadime Cave, also known as Marble Cave (Albanian: Shpella e Gadimes, Serbian: Мермерна пећина, Mermerna pećina), is a karst limestone cave in the village of Gadime e Ulët (Donje Gadimlje), in the municipality of Lipljan in Kosovo[a]. Much of it is still unexplored. The cave was found in 1966 by a villager, Ahmet Asllani who was cutting stone.[1]

Notes
| a. | ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states. |
