Ecomuseo delle ferriere e fonderie di Calabria

The Ecomuseo delle ferriere e fonderie di Calabria spans 500 square meters and displays artifacts related to iron production and metallurgy in southern Italy.

Established in 1982 by the Calabrian Industrial Archaeology Association, the museum preserves the industrial legacy of the Vallata dello Stilaro region and Serre Calabresi.

The museum includes four thematic routes focusing on water usage, metallurgy techniques, mining operations, and the connection between industry and religious practices.

Located at Via Matteotti 3 in Bivongi, the museum maintains regular exhibitions of four main industrial artifacts and operates with support from local volunteers.

The facility incorporates an ancient mine in Pazzano, the historical Ferdinandea foundry, and the Mulino del Regnante water mill within its exhibition network.
