Las Cavenes, Archaeological site in El Cabaco, Spain.
Las Cavenes consists of extensive Roman gold mining structures with remains of extraction zones and water channels across the landscape.
Romans conducted mining operations at Las Cavenes between the first and second centuries CE, employing advanced hydraulic techniques for gold extraction.
The interpretation center displays exhibits about gold properties and mining methods, with detailed scale models explaining Roman extraction processes.
Two marked trails lead visitors through the mining areas, with a shorter 1.9-kilometer route and a longer 2.75-kilometer path including natural features.
The site contains stone-carved gaming tables from ancient times, combining recreational elements with archaeological remains.
