Ferrería de San Blas, Industrial heritage site in Sabero, Spain.

The Ferrería de San Blas complex features neogothic architecture with large halls, machine houses, and remnants of original blast furnaces from the 19th century.

Built in 1847 by the Palentino-Leonesa Mining Society, this facility operated the first coke-fired blast furnaces in Spain until its closure in 1862.

The building now houses the Museum of Iron and Mining of Castile and León, displaying machinery, tools, and artifacts from the region's industrial past.

The museum contains four exhibition areas covering the construction, valley history, industrial operations, and mining basin development through interactive displays.

The facility produced iron products distributed to markets in León, Palencia, Valladolid, and Madrid through railway stations in Sahagún and Mansilla de las Mulas.
