Mina Du Veloso

Former underground gallery used for gold extraction in the 18th and 19th centuries, which has now been adapted for tourist visitation. The visits are guided and during the course are given information about the gold cycle, which shaped our country. Special emphasis is given to the African miners who did the work and were never reminded. We show the protagonism, the knowledge and origin of the Africans who were kidnapped for the works of the eighteenth century mining. At the reception there is art shop, crafts and jewelry shop, as well as toilets for visitors.
