Definitely worth a visit!
I have not visited this place since my childhood, and it really came as a suprise to see how well the reconstruction and re-themed/educational side has been strengthened. After a nice stroll/climb on the path on the edge of the cliffs/plateau and catch a full sight on the nearby area, we climbed down the staircase, into the interior parts of the mine. The sizes of the carved stones are amazing. At first we were suprised by the sharks, but quickly realized how well the old sea concept fitted int othe concept. Sound effects were also great. The short film they showed quickly summarized how the mine generated through millions of years, how uncovering then mining of this limestone happened, and which famous buildings' construction used these stones. Staff wasa friendly, told us the details: expected timing on the path, short films times in the mine, toilet facility, etc. Near the entrance we had ice-cream. Inside the mine it is cold.

Amazing size
The pictures are not telling anything about this place. Once we entered was amazed by the size of the place. You may find huge rooms made in the stone and start to feel how small we are.
