In 1919, the cave was discovered by chance by José Vicente Mengual (known as Tío Rull) when he was hunting rabbits. The hunted animal disappeared in a fissure without any trace, Tío Rull returned there the following day and discovered the access to the cave.

When the tourism increased in the 1960s, it was decided to make the cave available to the public. It was thus opened until 1970. When the Cueva del Rull was sold to the municipality of La Vall d´Ebó in 1995, renovation works began, and the lighting system and security arrangements were improved. On September 16, 1995, the Cueva del Rull was re-opened to visitors.
