The largest copper mine of the 19th century
Among the highlights of the route is the monumental Alfredo Shaft , the heart of the entire mining facility, with the original gears and tubs once powered by a steam engine still visible. The visit also includes the former 19th-century workshops , where you can experience the atmosphere of the miners' daily work.
A true immersion in Tuscan industrial archaeology , between the memory of work and mining heritage.
