In the place of Margaride de Lor, visitors will find what is known as 'Covas do Medo', within what is known as 'Complexo Aurífero do Medo', a set of remains of the mining activity of the Romans in this region of Lugo, nestled in the Courel Mountains Xeopark.

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.
