El Parque Cultural de la Montana de Sal

The Salt Mountain is a unique natural phenomenon in the world and is still growing while being eroded by the rain. Its 120 meters are just the tip of an enormous diapir nearly two kilometres deep. Lasting an hour, you will go down to a depth of 86 meters and enjoy the spectacle of shapes and textured features of the salt massif. The Salt Mountain Cultural Park also offers the visitor the option to walk through the old mining facilities. Beneath the imposing feature of the winding tower of the old mine shaft Maria Teresa lies the museum area: an open-air area that explains the history of the explotation of salt, the geology, the minerology and botany of this Area of Natural Interest, the Salt Valley of Cardona. The visitor can also see the shaft's mining machinery, which is a very good example of industry archaeology dessigned by Alsthom (currently Alstom) during the 1920s. A photographic exhibition can be seen in the basement. The old carpenter's workshop and the room where all the machinery used to be repaired house the Salt Handicraft Centre, Art-Sal and the exhibition Memory of the women from the mining neighborhood. We can also find there "La Cafeteria" with outdoor seating. At the reception, you can find "La Botigueta", a little shop with a wide selection of products and bibliography about Cardona.
