woodwork lasted for millenia in the acid environment of the Catalina Monulesti gold mine gallery in Rosia Montana”>
The Catalina Monulesti gold mine, located in Roşia Montană, Romania, is a historic site that has been in use for over two millennia. The mine is only open to the public for five days each year during August and International Miner’s Day, but it is worth the effort to visit. This is because it provides a unique opportunity to explore the complex maze of tunnels that span across the ages of gold mining history.
The Roşia Montană Gold Corporation opened the mine to the public in 2012. Visitors are provided with guided tours, ensuring that the experience is both safe, and pleasant, for those who do not suffer from claustrophobia. As part of the tour, visitors are allowed to explore some of the Roman tunnels that have remained standing for over two thousand years.
Although the mine is only open for a short time each year, it has been found to be a unique and fascinating experience worth exploring. Details about this mine can be found on robintel.ro/blog/fotoblog/catalina-monulesti/, where visitors can find out more about the mine in Romanian. Additional information can be found on the Wikipedia page dedicated to the Roşia Montană Project.
