Brassey Ore Processing Plant

Highlight • Historical Site

The Naracauli washery, also called Brassey washery from the name of the owner of the mine, the Englishman Lord Thomas Allnutt Brassey, came into operation in the first months of the 1900s and was especially destined for the treatment of blendous materials (blende is the mineral from which industrially zinc and as a by-product also cadmium, gallium and indium).
This plant was for the time one of the most modern in the field of mechanical preparation of minerals. Today, however, it represents to attentive eyes one of the many signs of the "violence" suffered by the Sardinian territory by foreign companies that exploited the mines without any benefit for the Sardinians.

Ingurtosu Mine – Pozzo Gal

Highlight • Historical Site

one of the most interesting mines by extension of the entire Sulcis. The Gal shaft is the main point of mining, but the nearby administrative buildings and the Averia Brassey a few km further downstream are very interesting.

Km37, the itinerary makes us get out of the main road to go a a dust road which quickly disappears. There is no longer any tracks, bushes have grown there are massive rocket and to join back the main road (on the Komoot itinerary) we had to carry our bikes over barbed wires.
