Spiaggia di Fontanamare

The visit to the mines on the Iglesiente sea starts from the Fontanamare beach, the beautiful 4 km strip of sand that we meet as soon as we go towards the Iglesiente sea. Here we will observe the final part of the Gallery for the drainage of the waters of the "Umberto 1st" mine, an imposing work that connects the Monteponi mine with the beach of Fontanamare built starting from 1880. In front of the beach there are mining buildings representing the remains of a foundry, of which the chimney remains, and of the systems for loading the minerals.
