The Compludo Herrería is a forge of medieval origin located in the Compludo valley, in the Spanish municipality of Ponferrada, in the Bierzo region, province of León, autonomous community of Castilla y León. This national monument, declared in 1968, preserves the mallet moved by a water wheel and the forge with a Catalan horn, which injects air according to the Venturi principle. The blacksmith shop is still in operation thanks to the conservation work of several generations of blacksmiths and is a tourist attraction for the area.
If you want to visit it, keep in mind that it has specific hours depending on the season. 🌟
