Xerri's Grotto is a cave in the Gozo settlement of Xagra. Anthony Xerri, a local inhabitant, discovered it while excavating a well beneath a private house in 1923 or 1924. Xerri's Grotto is close to Ninu's Cave, another underground attraction. Its rank as one of the most beautiful caves in Malta.


Ninu's Cave is smaller than this grotto. It has calcified formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, some of which resemble tortoises, vultures, giraffes, and elephant ears. There are also several additional formations that resulted from the calcification of tree roots.


The cave is accessible through a 10-meter spiral stairway built into the old well shaft. During World War II, the cave was expanded to serve as an air raid shelter for the family. The cave is now lit by electric lights and is open to the public, with tours provided by the house's owners.
