    The Montevecchio Mine is one of the most representative sites of Sardinian industrial archaeology and is part of the UNESCO-recognized Geo-mining Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia. Mining operations, which began in 1848 and ended in 1991, made Montevecchio one of Europe's most important mining centers for lead and zinc production.

    The complex preserves washeries, shafts, workshops, warehouses, miners' quarters, and the management building with the adjoining church of Santa Barbara. Today, several guided tours are available that illustrate daily life in the mines and the technological evolution of the mining industry.

    Tours can be booked online at minieramontevecchio.it or at the Geo-mining Park information points.
