Parco Archeominerario di San Silvestro

The 450-hectare park contains extensive mining tunnels, mineral museums, and a medieval castle situated in the Tuscan countryside between Campiglia Marittima and Piombino.

The site originated in the 10th century when the Gherardesca counts established a settlement to exploit silver, copper, and lead deposits in the region.

The Museum of Mining Equipment and Miners Museum preserve the tools, techniques, and daily experiences of the workers who extracted minerals from these grounds.

Visitors access the park through guided tours that include helmet-equipped mine exploration, train rides through the Lanzi-Temperino tunnel, and visits to multiple museums.

The yellow mining train transports guests through the original mineral transport tunnel, connecting the extraction site in Valle del Temperino to processing facilities in Valle Lanzi.
