    The São Domingos Mine is a living memory of a time of fire and iron. Here, where the earth opened up to reveal gold, silver, and copper since ancient times, one of the greatest legacies of the Iberian Pyrite Belt arose in the 19th century. Between 1854 and 1966, millions of tons of ore were extracted here, leaving not only its mark on the soil and landscape, but also progress: one of the country's first railway lines and the first power plant in the Alentejo.

    Today, the former mining complex is a public heritage site, a place of contrasts and rare beauty.
