안쪽은 매우 가파르게 오르막이며 아무데도 나오지 않습니다

로마인들은 광석을 채굴하기 위해 기발한 시스템을 고안했습니다. 그들은 산에 많은 양의 물을 흘려보내 산을 폭파시켰습니다. 이 물은 북쪽에 있는 산에서 가져와야 했으며, 이를 위해 때로는 100km에 달하는 수로를 건설했습니다. 그 결과 거대한 지역에 주황색의 느슨한 암석층이 흩어져 있는 "폭발된" 산이 되었습니다. 3세기 이후에야 다른 더 흥미로운 금광이 발견되면서 이 광산은 버려졌습니다.

멋진 윤곽이 뚜렷한 풍경은 로마인들을 위해 매일 끔찍한 조건에서 땅속 깊이 먼지 많고 무겁고 매우 위험한 일을 해야 했던 약 20,000명의 스페인 노예들의 역사와 극명한 대조를 이룹니다.

The Mirador de Orellán is a spectacular observation point located in the town of Orellán, in the municipality of Borrenes, León. This viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views of the cultural landscape of Las Médulas, an ancient Roman gold mining complex declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Near the viewpoint, you can visit the underground galleries that were part of the Roman gold mining system. Entry costs €3 and a helmet with headlamp is provided for the visit.

When looking at the rock formations of LAS MEDULAS, one must remember that this landscape is not natural, but rather the (sad) remains of a mountain massif that was ruthlessly exploited for its gold ore as early as the Roman Empire. Nevertheless, this landscape of ruins is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 15-minute film documentary about this (in German) is available in the ARD media library as part of the highly recommended series “Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity”: https://www.zdf.de/swr/schaetze-der-welt/page-video-ard-las-mdulas-und-seine-goldminen-spanien-100.html

The Bar Tapería O Camiño Real is a charming place in Las Médulas, it is a recommended place to enjoy good food and a pleasant atmosphere. If you are nearby, don't hesitate to visit it! 😊

Las Médulas, located in Bierzo, northwest of the Montes Aquilanos and along the valley of the Sil River, is a fantastic landscape resulting from Roman gold mining. This place has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Although no one would say that the steep cliffs hide, beneath their bowels, the gold of the Romans, the mining exploitation silenced for centuries has become a beautiful landscape of great tourist attraction.

This landscape was created over 250 years by an estimated 60,000 slaves to supply the Roman Empire with around 1,650 tons of gold. A UNESCO World Heritage Site
