Art print from the Spain Series. Las Médulas in El Bierzo
Las Médulas is a Spanish landscape environment formed by an old Roman gold mining operation located in the region of El Bierzo, province of León.
It is considered the largest open pit gold mine in the entire Roman Empire.
The engineering work carried out to extract the mineral involved alteration of the environment but resulted in a landscape of reddish sands, currently partially covered with chestnut and oak vegetation. It is considered a "cultural landscape" and has the name "Cultural Park".
In 1997 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
