Path to the mining area
These areas have seen sporadic mining since the Romans first exploited the gold reserves. More recently multiple companies explored the area during the 19th and 20th centuries. Several mines are located in Santa Comba municipality. This is one of the reasons why archaelogical value of the area has not been fully studied so far.
