The visit itinerary
Starting from the first extraction well of the 30s of the nineteenth century, we will go up to its symbol tower, the Alfredo well with its 320 meters depth and its extraction system with tubs still intact. Then passing through the old carpentry, you will return to the main entrance of the mine, where the daily life of the miners will be told.
The mine was divided into ten levels and various tunnels branched off on each level. If all the lengths of the tunnels are added together, 35 km are reached. We will enter the fascinating underground world and we will be able to explore a part of the main gallery also known as “belly of the whale”.
After having visited the former offices of the Management and the laboratory for chemical analysis, the visit will end outdoors in the premises of the former wash-houses.
Duration of the guided tour about 1 hour and a quarter. The route does not present particular difficulties. Suitable for all adults and children at least 4 years old. Must There are stairs along the way. Small dogs can enter but during the route in the gallery must be held in the arms.
What’s New
As of April 1, 2022, with the entry into force of Decree-Law No. 24 of March 24, 2022, the possession of an enhanced green pass, or basic green pass, is no longer required for access. The requirement to use surgical masks remains.
