Mina de São Domingos
A mining complex established in the 19th century to exploit a copper-bearing pyrite mine whose deposit had been exploited in Roman and pre-Roman times. The main elements extracted during modern mining, between 1854 and 1966, were copper and sulfur. After the mine's closure, the equipment was dismantled and sold, leaving the landscape today marked by mining activity and acid drainage.
