Overlooking the sea of Nebida, you will find the magnificent Lamarmora washery, built in 1897 for the treatment of lead and zinc. The structure is composed of four volumes that overlap and descend towards the coast, crossed by arches. On the sides, two ovens and two chimneys. Inside there were systems for the separation and classification of minerals, storage spaces, a steam engine and a furnace room. In the lower part, a warehouse and a marina for transport boats. The floor is in terracotta and the roof, which is absent today, was made of wood.

The mine experienced a flourishing period in the first half of the 20th century, interrupted only by the two world wars, with its peak in the 1930s. However, it declined with the great mining crisis of the seventies, leading Nebida to become depopulated.

From the parking lot in Nebida, a circular hiking trail leads downwards towards the sea. Down a long flight of stairs past the former laundry. The path then goes steeply back up to Nebida.

One of the most important examples of industrial archeology in a landscape characterized by extraction wells and tunnels, ore washing works and docks, mine buildings and miners' homes is in Iglesiente, in the extreme south-west of Sardinia
