HISTORY
The first pickaxe hit the rock on a warm Saturday night, in August 1978. Falco, the Founder of Damanhur, and ten other Damanhurians were sitting around a fire lit behind the house they had bought on Vidracco’s hill, when a star fell across the sky. It was unusually big, very bright and it moved slowly, leaving behind a visible trail of golden dust.
This was interpreted as the sign that it was a good moment to begin digging a tunnel into the mountain, leading to the heart of the Earth, to build a work of art dedicated to the sacred aspect within every human being.
As soon as the meeting ended, two Damanhurians began chipping away at the rock of the mountain with only a hammer and a pick. They continued digging with great fervor all night. When in the morning others came to carry on with the work, over a meter had already been excavated inside the mountain. They continued non-stop in shifts of four hours each, for fifteen days, before the pace became less intense, although work never stopped. Pick, shovel, buckets, pick, shovel, buckets, chisel, hammer, buckets…
The Damanhurians felt enthusiastic of sharing a common activity which was also carried out in total secrecy. A permission to excavate would have never been granted by the local government, as Piedmont had no laws regulating underground buildings of that magnitude, and the project would have seemed too ambitious to carry out. The secret was kept for sixteen years.

MCCmadrid201912/07/2020Amazing place This is certainly one of the most special and unique place in Europe. Very particular art expression, energetically powerful space. The perfect example how group of "ordinary" people can realize the big dream. If you are looking for inspiration or something to surprise you deeply, this is the place for you.

Ronit99410/07/2020- Better than could be imagined I have become a groupie!!! The Temples of Humankind are nothing short of stunning, fantastic, magical, and a bit unbelievable at first viewing. It is so hard to imagine the dedication, creativity and shocking amount of seriously hard work it has taken to create this artistic Structure. And all of it was done with love, joy and the belief in the greatness of humankind.
Be prepared to be whelmed!!! Quite beyond anything I could have imagined before experiencing it all for myself.
This extraordinary group of people are still refining their 40+ year project based on living in harmonious community. It is truly inspiring what they have and are achieving.
If you are interested in Sacred Spirituality a visit here is a must and if you are not... Visiting for curiosity will afford you some extraordinary art, amazing food and delightful people all in the foothills to the Alps.
