La Piccola Miniera [Small Mine]
This structure of a mainly tourist value presents the reconstruction of a mine that is entered on board a little train. The mine has been reconstructed in miniature and houses several machines that miners used in the past. A little museum reconstructs Elba Island’s iron epoch.
