Miniera Trabia Tallarita, Former sulfur mine in Riesi and Sommatino, Italy.

The Trabia Tallarita mine complex spans across two municipalities, featuring preserved industrial structures and machinery from its operational period.

The mine began operations in 1830 under the Prince of Trabia and Butera, becoming one of central Sicily's principal sulfur extraction sites.

The mine museum displays tools, equipment, and documents that illustrate the daily experiences of miners who worked in dangerous conditions.

Visitors can access the museum complex through guided tours that explain the sulfur extraction process and mining techniques.

A 10-kilometer cable car system, constructed in 1904, connected the mine to Campobello di Licata railway station for mineral transportation.
