The ancient mines of Medo are a site of the Roman Empire located in Margaride, a town located on the banks of the Lor River, between the Augalevada mountain range and the Aldriz hill. The purpose of these mines was to modify the water flows in the area in order to break the ground through the galleries and extract the mineral.
