Visiting the Lousal Science Centre is like stepping back in time to when its mine was active and where ores formed millions of years ago were exploited by thousands of miners who worked and lived there with their families. In this house of science, housed in three buildings once associated with mining activity, science is explored and the richest of minerals is extracted: knowledge. Inaugurated on June 30, 2010, today this space is a new future, a land reinvented by the will of many and sustained by the richest of minerals: knowledge. Adjacent to the Science Centre, the Mining Museum, housed in the former Power Plant, is also worth a visit. The outdoor walking trails lead visitors to discover the cork oak ecosystem and megalithic monuments, culminating in a "journey to the center of the Earth" with entry into an old gallery of the Lousal mine. The sunset invites observation of bats and the Milky Way.
