Sala Silver Mine

The Sala Silver Mine extends to a depth of 318 meters and spans 700 meters in length through a network of underground tunnels and chambers.

From the 15th century until 1908, miners extracted over 450 tons of silver, making Sala one of the five largest silver deposits in the world.

The Victoria Concert Hall, situated within the mine's heated cavities, hosts musical performances and serves as an underground hotel suite for visitors.

Four different guided tours explain mining operations, historical contexts, and underground life, with an additional specialized tour for children introduced in 2018.

The mine contains multiple exhibition spaces, including Skrädhuset, Stallet, Ångmaskinhuset, and Tingssalen, which display mining equipment and operational artifacts.
