Miner's Monument

Highlight • Monument

Sculptural work that honors all the miners of Almadén and the region, chosen by popular subscription and made by Leovigildo Gallardo Blanco from Almaden.
The Monument to the Miner represents the history of more than two thousand years, the hard and sacrificial work of the miner and the history of a people; the rebellion against the exploitation of man for a miserable salary and the testimony of a region that jointly achieved the objectives it set itself. Opened in 1996.

Almadén

Highlight • Historical Site

In the Alcudia Valley lies Almadén, a town linked to mining since ancient times, dyed with the reddish cinnabar of its cave paintings. The Romans opened up this land to extract the precious metal coveted in the empire as a dye, cosmetic or ointment. Since those times and despite the vagaries of exploitation or demand, Almadén has produced a third of the mercury consumed by humanity.
The Almadén Mining Park offers us a trip to the interior of one of the oldest mines in the world. The park is completed with museums, interpretation centres and interesting displays of industrial archaeology. The Old School of Mine Foremen, created in the 18th century for the Study of Subterranean Geometry and Mineralogy. The House of the Superintendence located next to the mine allowed for greater control of it, of Baroque style only the enclosure remains. The San Rafael Miners' Hospital houses the historical archive of the Almadén Mines.

Royal Hospital of the Miners of San Rafael

Highlight • Historical Site

It is an unusual building built in 1755 and which has been a miners' hospital from 1774 to 1975. Later, after a few years of abandonment, it was rehabilitated at the beginning of the 21st century to show its dependencies. In addition, a museum space was created with three rooms: the first dedicated to the history of this building, the second, which is responsible for showing the process of mercury metallurgy and its evolution, and the third reflects the life and customs of the local and regional population. It was declared B.I.C. in 1992.
