What remains of the mine are some remains of the buildings, where the mineral was collected, and the arrival of the cableway used to transport it to Alagna. Not far away is the entrance to the mine, which leads a few tens of meters into the mountain, where the wooden scaffolding that supported the vault of the tunnel is still visible.

Point to visit, a historical place where miners worked to obtain manganese. It is possible to find caves that are easily visible but obviously pay maximum attention.
