ROUTE OF THE MINING AND THE HERMITAGES

RUTA DE LA MINERÍA Y LAS ERMITAS
Natural
Descripción

Mining activity developed in Aldea Moret for more than a century.

From the Middle Ages, lime had a great importance in the City of Cáceres and lime kilns were numerous.
The discovery of a mineral rich in phosphorus, the phosphate of lime and the influence of Sigismund Moret and Prendergast made the city resurface. Mining activity developed in Aldea Moret for more than a century.
At least from 1864 until the closing of the last mine, Abundancia in 1959, although the last installation of the mining industrial complex was not carried out until 1974.
Thanks to this mining activity, Cáceres began in the Industrial Revolution, it was modernized by the hand of the 20th century and advances such as the railroad and electric lighting came to the city. Modern urbanism caught on in this small mining village and their lives shaped the exciting history of Aldea Moret.
