Salt mine of Imón, Salt evaporation pond in Sigüenza, Spain
The salt mine stretches across multiple terraced ponds where water evaporates naturally, leaving behind crystallized salt deposits ready for collection.
Dating back several centuries, this salt extraction facility supplied essential preservatives to central Spain regions through an intricate network of trade routes.
The salt production methods at Imón represent traditional Spanish industrial practices, earning recognition as a designated Cultural Heritage Site in 1992.
Visitors access the salt mine through guided tours that explain the extraction process while observing the expansive system of water channels.
The site combines both inland salt production techniques and industrial heritage elements, making it one of Spain's few remaining historical salt operations.
