The Orellán Gallery is an ancient underground water conduit that extends for about 100 meters. Its original function was to transport water from inside the mountain to burst it from within. The conduit ends at a viewpoint located in a vertical cut of the mountain, offering an impressive view. These galleries were part of the mining exploitation system known as Ruinae Montium. The Romans used these structures to extract minerals and natural resources. I hope you enjoy this historical and natural experience! 😊

Las Médulas are the result of the greed of the Roman Empire to extract every last gram of gold that the Leonese mountains contained. The Romans used the aggressive “ruina montium” method to extract gold for 250 years, creating a radical and surprising landscape. As you tour Las Médulas, you will discover caves, pinnacles, ravines and vertical slopes of a remarkable reddish color.
