What to expect
The Monteponi mine is a fascinating example of Sardinian mining history, located near the city of Iglesias. The mine has a long history, dating back to the 14th century, and was exploited periodically over the centuries. It reached its peak development between the 19th and 20th centuries, with modern buildings and cutting-edge structures. Today, the mining complex is part of the Parco Geominerario of Sardinia and the Santa Barbara Mining Route. Visitors can explore the site, which includes the elegant Palazzina Bellavista, the Villamarina gallery, and the compressor room. The nearby sites of Nebida and Masua, surrounded by wonderful natural scenery, are also worth visiting. The mine is a great place to learn about the region's industrial past and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of Sardinia
