Riotinto Mining Museum, Mining museum in Minas de Riotinto, Spain.
The Riotinto Mining Museum occupies a former hospital building from 1921, presenting exhibits about mining activities across different historical periods.
The museum structure served as a medical facility for Rio Tinto Company Limited employees from 1921 until 1983 before its transformation into a cultural institution.
The museum collection includes mining tools, archaeological artifacts, machinery, and minerals from the Iberian Pyrite Belt region of Spain.
Visitors can explore the museum's basement level, which contains a reconstructed Roman mine tunnel demonstrating ancient mining techniques.
The museum maintains several preserved steam locomotives that once operated on the historic Riotinto railway line for mineral transportation.
