Museu Mineiro do Lousal

Very interesting museum. In one building, theres an interesting exhibition about the history of the mine, about sulfur, about other ores and about some other things. In the second building, there are some old compressors and generators. You can also go around and explore the buildings and 2 acid lakes (one of them is blue, the other one red. Both are filled with sulfur and a other poisons.). Those lakes are literally breathtaking... you can smell the sulfur everywhere on the site, but especially in the mill and around the lakes. Sadly, most of the site is in a very neglected condition. For example, there are no engines left in the mill and other buildings, their roofs and parts of the walls already collapsed and the buildings are filled with a disgusting mix of sulfur, dirt, sand, pieces of the walls and the roof and parts of the engines.

Small museum with some large engines and machines. Get the ticket with the mine museum for a discount.

Great day with kids

Espetacular! Muito interessante, interactivo e criativo. Aconselho a miúdos e graúdos. Uma pena ter poucas visitas em tempos COVID, vale muito a pena e voltarei!

Complexo muito interessante , colaboradores muito simpaticos e acessíveis uma mais valia.
