Villaggio Minerario Rosas

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:59:59

Immersed in the country near Narcao, the Villaggio Minerario Rosas is a fascinating museum complex housed in what was once an important lead, copper and zinc mine. The site's rusty minehead machinery and heavy timber structures set the scene for exhibits illustrating village life and the workings of the mine.

Visits take in the pit's former Laveria (Washing Plant) where you can see the heavy machines used to work the minerals, and the underground mine shafts.

There are also nature trails to explore, an on-site restaurant, and accommodation in the miners' former cottages.
