One of the plaques is written "Olympi i Kosova", another "Azem Galica", and the other near it "Azem Galica, Granite Cave of centuries".
With different names, but with the same destination, all to the cave that is attracting visitors with its beauty in the village of Përçevë in Klina.
The history of the cave is related to that of Azem Galica, one of the figures of the Kosovar resistance.
Historian Smail Morina says that the story begins from the discovery of this cave to the hiding of Azem Beyta's body here.
Ramiz Balaj is one of the residents of Gllarreva in Klina who tells visitors about the cave.
The inhabitants have inherited the narrative from generation to generation.
The historian says that the interior of the cave is still unexplored by archeology experts.

Skender Merturi from the Directorate of Culture in the Municipality of Klina has emphasized that although this cave is not protected as a cultural heritage, it is an attraction for visitors to visit.
"The cave of Azem Galica is not under the protection of cultural heritage, as it is the responsibility of the Ministry to decide on this matter. In 2019, the DKRS cleaned the terrain from the road to the cave in a length of 3 km, while in 2022 it is planned to mark the cave. We think that the cave as ace has its historical importance, which is related to the name of our hero, Azem Galica, since no cultural evaluation has been done yet by the Ministry of Culture. We know that the cave has visitors and interest in visiting, but as the Director, we do not have any evidence of the exact number of visitors. Also, the cave meets the conditions of the terrain to be visited freely", says the Directorate of Culture in the municipality of Klina.
Village residents and history connoisseurs appeal that the cave where Azem Bejta's body was thrown and from which his remains were taken out after 47 years, be protected by the state as a cultural heritage asset.
