The mine of Mon­te­ca­ti­ni Val di Ceci­na is an ancient cop­per mine locat­ed about one km from the his­tor­i­cal cen­ter. Remained active until 1907 was dur­ing the nine­teenth cen­tu­ry the largest cop­per mine in Europe. Here was born the com­pa­ny Mon­te­ca­ti­ni, one of the largest Euro­pean indus­tries, then merged into the famous Monte­di­son.
For vis­i­tors, it is an oppor­tu­ni­ty for a fas­ci­nat­ing jour­ney to learn about min­ing tech­niques and the sto­ries of the min­ers. Today the vis­i­tor can admire the nine­teenth-cen­tu­ry struc­tures relat­ed to min­ing, the for­mer Laver­ie, part of the gal­leries that can be walked, the for­mer offices of the Man­age­ment.
