Museu de les Mines de Cercs

The Museum consists of five spaces open to the public: the colony and coal area, the audiovisual room, the Llums de mina space and the Sant Romà mine.

The visit offers insights into everything from the uses and applications of coal —the workshops and warehouses, its origins and transport—to life around the mine —illnesses, accidents, the role of women, children's education, and leisure activities. The Museum also includes a visit to a miner's dwelling as it was in 1940.

A mining train takes visitors inside the Sant Romà mine. The 450-meter journey through the tunnel recreates the work inside the mine in its original location. During the exit, on foot and always accompanied by a guide, visitors discover the coal extraction processes.

Finally, the visitor can see the Llums de mina exhibition space and take a walk around the entire colony and its area of influence.
