Archaeology
Via Roma 3, 10050 Gravere
The Rugèt Mine is located upstream of the Arnodera hamlet and it preserves important historical evidence, combined with geological and biological peculiarities. It dates back to the Middle Ages and it was intensively exploited throughout the 1200s, with a revival of extraction in the first half
of the 1700s and in 1825 but without success. Skilled miners worked manually to extract from the rock dolomite of quartzose carbonatic matrix, minerals of galena, chalcopyrite, and limonite pyrite.
