Parc Arqueològic Mines de Gavà
Parc Arqueològic Mines de Gavà, Archaeological park and Neolithic mines in Gavà, Spain.
The mining complex stretches across 200 hectares, containing a network of underground galleries dedicated to the extraction of green variscite mineral.
Mining operations at the site commenced 6,000 years ago and continued for one millennium, establishing one of the earliest mining networks in Europe.
The excavated areas reveal burial chambers containing artifacts, personal items, and ceremonial objects that document the social practices of Neolithic communities.
The park provides guided tours, multimedia exhibits, and educational programs from Monday to Sunday, with admission fees of 7.50 euros for adults.
These mines represent the sole location in Western Europe where Neolithic communities extracted variscite, a mineral valued for jewelry production.
