It is an open-pit mine that reached approximately 200 meters in diameter and 180 meters in depth.
After mining operations ceased, the quarry filled with water, forming a kind of artificial lagoon that is now one of the most unique landscapes in the area.
The mine is called Confesionarios (Confessionals) because of the gossan geological formations that resemble confessionals in churches.

Valdelamusa is a hamlet and mining town in the municipality of Cortegana. It is surrounded by pyrite mines that are currently closed. In the mid-19th century, favorable mining legislation and the need for metals in the European industry facilitated the entry of foreign capital and companies into the entire Huelva pyrite belt, whose mineral wealth has been known since ancient times.
