Pozo Julia

Mining site that offers an interpretive and accessible visit through the memory and history of coal.

Throughout the itinerary we propose, you will be able to learn about the past and present of this mining complex from the hands of its protagonists, entering the interior of the different buildings that make up this space. At the signage that marks the beginning of the route, you will be able to obtain information about the itinerary itself, as well as about the history of Pozo Julia. In each visitable space, or from this very website, you may download an audio guide that will allow you to understand the functioning or uses of representative spaces such as the lamp room, the compressor room, the headframe, among others, or to learn what the work of the driller, the coal cutter or the timberman was like and what it consisted of.

It has an audio guide intended for children, as well as a sign guide intended for people with hearing disabilities.
