It is an artificial cavity that surprises everyone it enters. It is inevitable to ask questions about the origin of the strange hole and what its function was.

Originally, it appears to have been a gypsum mine. But, the most curious use of the hole has to do with what it has given its name to: Polvorín.

During the Civil War, the Army of the Republic used it to store bombs and ammunition.
